[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Delete an unnecessary check before kfree() in __kvmhv_nested_page_fault()

[Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2019 11:00:20 +0200

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
