perf(linter/plugins): remove unnecessary check

[overlookmotel]

This check is unnecessary as in order to obtain languageOptions, you have to go through context.languageOptions getter which already does the check.

If user hold onto the returned languageOptions object and accesses globals on it in a tick in between linting files, they'll just get null anyway.

Pull request overview

This PR removes a redundant filePath === null check from the globals getter within LANGUAGE_OPTIONS. The check is unnecessary because the context.languageOptions getter already validates that filePath is not null before returning the LANGUAGE_OPTIONS object. This improves code quality by eliminating redundant defensive programming that doesn't add value.

Key changes:

• Removed 4 lines containing a redundant null check for filePath in the LANGUAGE_OPTIONS.globals getter
