[PATCH v4] workqueue: Remove unnecessary kfree(NULL)

From: qiang.zhang
Date: Tue May 26 2020 - 21:43:37 EST


From: Zhang Qiang <qiang.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The callback function "rcu_free_wq" could be called after memory
was released for "wq->rescuer" already and assignment is empty. so
remove unnecessary kfree(NULL).

Fixes: def98c84b6cd ("workqueue: Fix spurious sanity check failures in destroy_workqueue()")
Fixes: 8efe1223d73c ("workqueue: Fix missing kfree(rescuer) in destroy_workqueue()")
