ublk_init_queues() ensures that all nr_hw_queues queues are initialized, with each ublk_queue's q_id set to its index. And ublk_init_queues() is called before ublk_add_chdev(), which creates the cdev. Is is therefore impossible for the !ubq || ub_cmd->q_id != ubq->q_id condition to hit in __ublk_ch_uring_cmd(). Remove it to avoids some branches in the I/O path.
