[patch] x86, dumpstack: removed unneeded check in dump_trace()

[Dan Carpenter]

Smatch complains that we have some inconsistent NULL checking.  If
"task" were NULL then it would lead to a NULL dereference later.  We
can remove this test because earlier on in the function we have:
	if (!task)
		task = current;
