Subject: [PATCH 4/9] drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c: Remove useless kfree

From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@...il.com>

Remove useless kfree() and clean up code related to the removal.

The semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
position p1,p2;
expression x;
@@

if (x@p1 == NULL) { ... kfree@p2(x); ... return ...; }

@unchanged exists@
position r.p1,r.p2;
expression e <= r.x,x,e1;
iterator I;
statement S;

if (x@p1 == NULL) { ... when != I(x,...) S
                        when != e = e1
                        when != e += e1
                        when != e -= e1

                        when != &e

... when != true x@p1 == NULL

*kfree@p2(x);
