[NETFILTER]: nf_queue: remove unnecessary hook existance check
We hold a module reference for each queued packet, so the hook that queued the packet can't disappear. Also remove an obsolete comment stating the opposite. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
