Squash coverity warning for REVERSE_INULL in dump_note_entry_p

Coverity detected a "defect" in dump_note_entry_p in linux-tdep.c:

  static int
  dump_note_entry_p (filter_flags filterflags, const struct smaps_vmflags *v,
                  int maybe_private_p, int mapping_anon_p, int mapping_file_p,
                  const char *filename, ULONGEST addr, ULONGEST offset)
  {
    /* vDSO and vsyscall mappings will end up in the core file.  Don't
       put them in the NT_FILE note.  */
    if (strcmp ("[vdso]", filename) == 0
        || strcmp ("[vsyscall]", filename) == 0)
      return 0;

    /* Otherwise, any other file-based mapping should be placed in the
       note.  */
    return filename != nullptr;
  }

Those strcmp's will derefernce `filename' so there is little point
to checking whether it is non-NULL or not;  we would have already
segfaulted.  It also cannot be nullptr because its value is read directly
from /proc/PID/maps. The "worst" it can be is an empty string.
