ipc,msg: drop dst nil validation in copy_msg
d0edd85283
("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the
nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON. However, this
check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for
ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag):
o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of
ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done,
unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv.
o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv).
Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should
always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether
as it can never occur with the current users.
