Subject: [PATCH v2] net: Mellanox: Delete unnecessary checks before the function
 call "vunmap"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2015 11:10:41 +0100

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
