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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 21:48:10 +0100

The functions dm_table_destroy() and vfree() perform also input
parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
