'wc' can't be NULL there and if it can we'd already crash a few lines before setting up vlan flags.
The check is misleading as it makes people to assume that wc can be NULL. And it makes Coverity think the same: CID 1596572: (#1 of 1): Dereference after null check (FORWARD_NULL) 25. var_deref_op: Dereferencing null pointer ctx->wc. 14. var_compare_op: Comparing ctx->wc to null implies that ctx->wc might be null Remove the check.
