The define of skb_list_walk_safe(first, skb, next_skb) is: for ((skb) = (first), (next_skb) = (skb) ? (skb)->next : NULL; (skb); \ (skb) = (next_skb), (next_skb) = (skb) ? (skb)->next : NULL) Thus, if the 'segs' passed as 'first' into the skb_list_walk_safe is NULL, the loop will exit immediately. In other words, it can be sure the 'segs' is non-NULL when we run inside the loop. So just remove the unnecessary NULL check. Also remove the unneeded assignmnets.
