Subject: [PATCH] IOMMU-Tegra: gart: Delete an unnecessary check before the
 function call "vfree"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 17:54:16 +0100

The vfree() function performs also input parameter validation.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
