[dm-devel] [PATCH 3/3] dm ioctl: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "dm_table_destroy"

The dm_table_destroy() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
