Subject: [PATCH] x86: AMD-perf_event: Delete unnecessary checks before the
 function call "free_percpu"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 09:00:20 +0100

The free_percpu() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the calls is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
