[PATCH 07/16] Allow efi_free() to be called with size of 0, and do nothing in that case.

From: Roy Franz <hidden>
Date: 2013-08-09 23:26:47
Also in: linux-efi, lkml
Subsystem: extensible firmware interface (efi), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Ard Biesheuvel, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Make efi_free() safely callable with size of 0, similar to free() being
callable with NULL pointers.
Remove size checks that this makes redundant.  This also avoids some
size checks in the ARM EFI stub code that will be added as well.
