This code checks if (attrs[DEVLINK_ATTR_TRAP_POLICER_ID]) twice.  Once
at the start of the function and then a couple lines later.  Delete the
second check since that one must be true.

Because the second condition is always true, it means the:

	policer_item = group_item->policer_item;

assignment is immediately over-written.  Delete that as well.

This is from static analysis and not tested.  It's possible (although
unlikely) that the static checker found buggy code instead of merely
a bit of dead code.  Please review this one carefully.
