Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/ttm: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "ttm_tt_destroy"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:06:18 +0200

The ttm_tt_destroy() 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.
