Subject: [PATCH] drm/mgag200: Delete an unnecessary check before
 drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 11:20:27 +0200

The drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked() 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.
