kdb: remove unnecessary null check of dbg_io_ops
`kdb_msg_write` operates on a global `struct kgdb_io *` called
`dbg_io_ops`.
It's initialized in `debug_core.c` and checked throughout the debug
flow.
There's a null check in `kdb_msg_write` which triggers static analyzers
and gives the (almost entirely wrong) impression that it can be null.
Coverity scanner caught this as CID 1465042.
I have removed the unnecessary null check and eliminated false-positive
forward null dereference warning.
