Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: xfrm: drop check of pols[0] for the second time

From: Jean Sacren <sakiwit@...il.com>

!pols[0] is checked earlier.  If we don't return, pols[0] is always
true.  We should drop the check of pols[0] for the second time and the
binary is also smaller.

Before:

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  48379	    957	    240	  49576	   c1a8	net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.o
