[PATCH] mm/list_lru: Remove unnecessary NULL check before kfree()

[xiaopeitux]

From: Pei Xiao <xiaopei01@xxxxxxxxxx>

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 cocci warning:
	WARNING: NULL check before some freeing functions is not needed.
