[PATCH] perf/x86/intel/pt: drop pointless NULL assignment.
From: Paul Gortmaker
Date: Wed Apr 08 2020 - 19:53:45 EST
Only a few lines below this removed line is this:
attrs = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
and since there is no code path where this could be avoided, the
NULL assignment is a pointless relic of history and can be removed.
