Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/5] ionic: Don't check null when calling vfree()

From: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@....com>

vfree() checks for null internally, so there's no need to
check in the caller. So, always vfree() on variables
allocated with valloc(). If the variables are never
alloc'd vfree() is still safe.
