Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fs-eventpoll: Deletion of unnecessary checks before the
 function call "__pm_stay_awake"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:27:16 +0100

The __pm_stay_awake() 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.
