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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:19:21 +0100

The functions kfree() and pci_dev_put() 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.
