Subject: [PATCH] GPU-DRM: Delete an unnecessary check before
 drm_property_unreference_blob()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 12:48:12 +0200

The drm_property_unreference_blob() 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.
