target/configfs: delete unnecessary checks for NULL

Commit Message

The "item" pointer is always going to be valid pointer and does not
need to be checked.

But if "item" were NULL then item_to_lun() would not return a NULL, but
instead, the container_of() pointer math would return a value in the
error pointer range.  This confuses static checkers since it looks like
a NULL vs IS_ERR() bug.

Delete the bogus checks.
