Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: Delete an unnecessary check before iput() in
cifs_do_create()
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 13:20:10 +0200
It can be known that the function “iput” performs a null pointer check
for its input parameter.
It is therefore not needed to repeat such a check before its call.
Thus remove a redundant pointer check.
