value_from_pointer: remove call to resolve_dynamic_type

The given type is expected to always be a TYPE_CODE_PTR, for which
resolve_dynamic_type does nothing.  So this patch removes this call.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * value.c (value_from_pointer): Remove use of resolve_dynamic_type.
        Adjust code accordingly.  Adjust function description comment.
