Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/iwpm: Delete unnecessary checks before the macro call “dev_kfree_skb”

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 19:30:09 +0200

The dev_kfree_skb() function performs also input parameter validation.
Thus the test around the shown calls is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
