net/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel

genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before
calling nlmsg_cancel.  nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same
arguments.  nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a
NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial
subtraction.  Nothing else happens in this execution, so the call to
genlmsg_cancel is simply unnecessary in this case.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression data;
@@

if (data == NULL) { ...
* genlmsg_cancel(..., data);
  ...
  return ...;
}
// </smpl>
