This PR fixes an "issue" reported by the CodeQL scan of the gearmand source code. The null check on line 179 of libtest/server.cc is redundant because it has already been dereferenced on line 177 in the condition of the for loop.

I suppose the if (argv) { ... } around the for loop could also be removed since the new condition of the for loop will also test this, but it doesn't do any harm and arguably improves clarity. I'd be willing to remove it though if you think it should be removed, @SpamapS.

Wow sometimes maintaining gearmand feels like working on an archeological dig.

Agree with your assessment. Remove that extra check. It might even get optimized out in some cases.

Anyway, I looked at some of the calls to this and funny enough the only one I could find that uses the argv's was my own addition of --round-robin mode.

Yeah, I think it would be with any good compiler. OK, I've removed the if (argv) { ... } as well. Squashed and rebased.
