Christian Engelmayer 43b54cc91b staging: silicom: Remove unused pointer in bypass_init_module()
Pointer 'pbpctl_dev_c' in function bypass_init_module() is unused. Thus remove
it. With the last variable declaration gone, there is no more need for an own
block. Remove it and adapt the indenting accordingly.

Theory of Operation:

The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with paired ports (2 or 4). 
The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the network packets to pass or insert the device in 
between the two ports.  When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, 
they provide high availability for the network in the face of software outages or maintenance.

The software requirements are for a kernel level driver that interfaces with the bypass and watchdog,
as well as for control software. User control can be either the provided standalone executable 
(/bin/bpctl) or the API exposed by the Silicom library.
