scsi: target: iscsi: Drop unnecessary container_of()

The structure pointer passed to container_of() is never NULL; that was
already checked. That means that the result of container_of() operations
on it is also never NULL, even though se_node_acl is the first element
of the structure embedding it. On top of that, it is misleading to perform
a NULL check on the result of container_of() because the position of the
contained element could change, which would make the test invalid.
Remove the unnecessary NULL check.

As it turns out, the container_of operation was only made for the purpose
of the NULL check. If the container_of is actually needed, it is repeated
later. Remove the container_of operation as well.

The NULL check was identified and removed with the following Coccinelle
script.

type t;
identifier v;
statement s;

  t v = container_of(...);
