[PATCH]: Kill spurious sk->sk_socket NULL assignments in netrom.

From: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Date: 2008-06-17 10:24:09
Also in: linux-hams
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Both of these assignments are spurious, so we can delete them.

Applied and pushed out to net-next-2.6

netrom: Kill spurious NULL'ing of sk->sk_socket.

In nr_release(), one code path calls sock_orphan() which
will NULL out sk->sk_socket already.

In the other case, handling states other than NR_STATE_{0,1,2,3},
seems to not be possible other than due to bugs.  Even for an
uninitialized nr->state value, that would be zero or NR_STATE_0.
It might be wise to stick a WARN_ON() here.
