virtio-pci: Remove wrong address verification in vp_del_vqs()

commit 7e415282 upstream.

GCC 12 enhanced -Waddress when comparing array address to null [0],
which warns:

    drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c: In function ‘vp_del_vqs’:
    drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c:257:29: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘true’ for the pointer operand in ‘vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks + (sizetype)((long unsigned int)i * 256)’ must not be NULL [-Waddress]
      257 |                         if (vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks[i])
          |                             ^~~~~~

In fact, the verification is comparing the result of a pointer
arithmetic, the address "msix_affinity_masks + i", which will always
evaluate to true.

Under the hood, free_cpumask_var() calls kfree(), which is safe to pass
NULL, not requiring non-null verification.  So remove the verification
to make compiler happy (happy compiler, happy life).
