Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [IA64] Deletion of unnecessary checks before the function
 call "unw_remove_unwind_table"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 23:57:28 +0100

The unw_remove_unwind_table() function performs also input parameter validation.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
