Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ARM-kernel: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two
 function calls

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Some functions tolerate the passing of a null pointer. I do not see a need
because of this fact that a function caller repeats a corresponding check.

Markus Elfring (2):
  Delete a check before the function call "smp_set_ops"
  Delete a check before the function call "unwind_table_del"
