Subject: [PATCH] net-Liquidio: Delete unnecessary checks before the function
 call "vfree"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 12:22:24 +0200

The vfree() function performs also input parameter validation.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
