PATCH 2/2 um: Cleanup compiler warning in arch/x86/um/tls_32.c

arch.tls_array is statically allocated so checking for NULL doesn't make sense. This causes the compiler warning below.

Remove the checks to silence these warnings.

../arch/x86/um/tls_32.c:68:13: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as 'true' for the address of 'tls_array' will never be NULL [-Waddress]
