Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "kobject_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 21:26:02 +0200

The kobject_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.
