These parens aren't needed any more.

I feel like people shouldn't deliberately call this with dptab == NULL.
I looked at it a bit and wasn't sure, (was sleepy though), so it's maybe
safest to keep the test.

I wish that cfs_cpt_spread_node() accepted NULL pointers so that we
didn't have to have the check for "cptab == NULL".  But your patch seems
like the way forward for now.
