[PATCH] fs: hfsplus: remove redundant NULL check before kfree()

From: mdshahid03

Date: Fri Jul 03 2026 - 06:26:19 EST


From: Mohammad Shahid <mdshahid03@xxxxxxxxx>

kfree() safely handles NULL pointers, so the explicit NULL check
before calling kfree() is unnecessary.

This issue was reported by ifnullfree.cocci.
