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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 10:25:45 +0100

The module_put() 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.
