[PATCH 1/1] net-ipvlan: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "free_percpu"

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2014-11-29 15:30:37
Also in: lkml, netdev
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>

The free_percpu() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
