Instead of getting the epc_features from pci_epc_get_features() API, use
the cached pci_epf_test::epc_features value to avoid the NULL check. Since
the NULL check is already performed in pci_epf_test_bind(), having one more
check in pci_epf_test_core_init() is redundant and it is not possible to
hit the NULL pointer dereference.
Also with commit a01e7214bef9 ("PCI: endpoint: Remove "core_init_notifier"
flag"), 'epc_features' got dereferenced without the NULL check, leading to
the following false positive smatch warning:
drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c:784 pci_epf_test_core_init()
error: we previously assumed 'epc_features' could be null (see line 747)
So let's remove the redundant NULL check and also use the epc_features::
{msix_capable/msi_capable} flags directly to avoid local variables.

Applied to endpoint, thank you!
[01/02] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Make use of cached 'epc_features' in pci_epf_test_core_init()

[02/02] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Use 'msix_capable' flag directly in pci_epf_test_alloc_space()
