Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tools/testing/nvdimm: Delete an unnecessary check before
 the function call "vfree"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 19:24:27 +0200

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
