[for-next][PATCH 02/13] tracing: Remove unnecessary check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@xxxxxxxx>

The event_filter_write() function calls event_file_file() to retrieve
a trace_event_file associated with a given file struct. If a non-NULL
pointer is returned, the function then checks whether the trace_event_file
instance has the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. This check is redundant
because event_file_file() already performs this validation and returns NULL
if the flag is set. The err value is also already initialized to -ENODEV.

Remove the unnecessary check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in
event_filter_write().
