misc: xilinx-sdfec: Drop unnecessary NULL check after container_of 

container_of() only returns NULL if the passed pointer is NULL _and_ if
the embedded element is the first element of the structure. Even if that
is the case, testing against it is misleading and possibly dangerous
because the position of the embedded element may change. In this case,
the check is unnecessary since it is known that file->private_data is
never NULL for an open file, and container_of() will therefore also
never be NULL. Drop the check.
