Remove redundant null checks before instanceof

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.staticanalysis.RemoveRedundantNullCheckBeforeInstanceof
Artifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis

Removes redundant null checks before instanceof operations since instanceof returns false for null. Removing the extra check simplifies the conditional and makes the null-safety guarantee of instanceof more visible to readers.
