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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 13:23:43 +0100

The nfs_put_client() 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.
