[nf-next,1/1] netfilter: nf_tables: Remove one useless condition check in nf_tables_newobj

From: Gao Feng <fgao@ikuai8.com>

The return value of nf_tables_obj_lookup is valid pointer or one error.
There are two cases in nf_tables_newobj totally.
case1: return value is -ENOENT, the obj is NULL, it is unnecessary to
perform the latter check "obj != NULL".
case2: IS_ERR(obj) is false, the obj is one valid pointer. It is also
unnecessary to perform that check.

In summary, we could move the block of condition check "obj != NULL" in
the else block to erase the original condition check.

Hi all,

Please ignore this patch.
Because I find the nf_tables_newtable and nf_tables_newset have same
logic, so I update them too, and send another patch.

The link is https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/713533/.

Regards
Feng
