[PATCH 1/3] net-PPP: Deletion of unnecessary checks before the function call "kfree"

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2014-11-30 16:44:43
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, ppp protocol drivers and compressors, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 17:02:07 +0100

The kfree() 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.
