Functions which release a system resource are occasionally documented in the way
that they tolerate the passing of a null pointer for example. I do not see a need
because of this fact that a function caller repeats a corresponding check.

Markus Elfring (3):
cciss: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "put_disk"
z2ram: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree"
Deletion of checks before the function call "iounmap"
