Subject: [PATCH 1/1] GFS2: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function
 calls

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 11:31:23 +0100

The functions iput() and put_pid() test whether their argument is NULL
and then return immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
