Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: Delete a check before the function call "key_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 18:18:54 +0200

The key_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around this call might not be needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
