eCryptfs: file->private_data is always valid
When accessing the lower_file pointer located in private_data of
eCryptfs files, there is no need to check to see if the private_data
pointer has been initialized to a non-NULL value. The file->private_data
and file->private_data->lower_file pointers are always initialized to
non-NULL values in ecryptfs_open().
This change quiets a Smatch warning:
CHECK /var/scm/kernel/linux/fs/ecryptfs/file.c
fs/ecryptfs/file.c:321 ecryptfs_unlocked_ioctl() error: potential NULL dereference 'lower_file'.
fs/ecryptfs/file.c:335 ecryptfs_compat_ioctl() error: potential NULL dereference 'lower_file'.
