4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

commit 5a1e59533380a3fd04593e4ab2d4633ebf7745c1 upstream.

THIS_MODULE evaluates to NULL when used from code built into the kernel,
thus breaking built-in transport modules.  Remove the bogus check.

Fixes: 0de5cd36 ("nvme-fabrics: protect against module unload during create_ctrl")
