[RESEND PATCH] nfs: Remove unnecessary NULL check before kfree()

From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 06:44:27 EST


Since kfree() already checks if its argument is NULL, an additional
check before calling kfree() is unnecessary and can be removed.

Remove it and thus also the following Coccinelle/coccicheck warning
reported by ifnullfree.cocci:

WARNING: NULL check before some freeing functions is not needed
