[PATCH net-next] xfrm: Remove unnecessary NULL check in xfrm_lookup_with_ifid()
From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Mar 12 2025 - 13:27:43 EST
This NULL check is unnecessary and can be removed. It confuses
Smatch static analysis tool because it makes Smatch think that
xfrm_lookup_with_ifid() can return a mix of NULL pointers and errors so
it creates a lot of false positives. Remove it.

I have wanted to remove this NULL check for a long time. Someone
said it could be done safely. But please, please, review this
carefully.
