ipv6: Fix Smatch warning. 

With commit d6ddef9e641d(IPv6: Fix not join all-router mcast group
when forwarding set.) I check 'dev' after it's dereference that
leads to a Smatch complaint:

net/ipv6/addrconf.c:438 ipv6_add_dev()
	 warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dev' (see line 432)

net/ipv6/addrconf.c
   431		/* protected by rtnl_lock */
   432		rcu_assign_pointer(dev->ip6_ptr, ndev);
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Old dereference.

   433
   434		/* Join all-node multicast group */
   435		ipv6_dev_mc_inc(dev, &in6addr_linklocal_allnodes);
   436
   437		/* Join all-router multicast group if forwarding is set
*/
   438		if (ndev->cnf.forwarding && dev && (dev->flags &
IFF_MULTICAST))
                                            ^^^

Remove the check to avoid the complaint as 'dev' can't be NULL.
