[PATCH net-next] net: ppp: remove ppp->closing check

Qingfang Deng <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-ppp,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.netdev
Message-ID <[email protected]>
ppp->closing was used to test if an interface is closing down. But upon
.ndo_uninit() where ppp->closing is set to 1, dev_close() is already
called to bring down an interface and a synchronize_net() guarantees
that no pending TX/RX can take place, so the check is unnecessary.
Remove the check.
