[PATCH] perf: arm_spe: remove unnecessary zero check

From: luanshi <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-26 04:25:21

The "nr_pages" variable has been checked before, it can't be zero, so a check here would be useless.

As the commit message states, a  done:

| /* We need at least two pages for this to work. */
| if (nr_pages < 2)
|         return NULL;

... so this looks sensible to me:
