[PATCH] x86: Debug Store - call kfree if only we really need it

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Tue Apr 01 2008 - 11:42:43 EST


We should call for kfree if only we really need it.
Though it's safe to call kfree with NULL pointer passed
in this code we've already tested the pointer and can
eliminate the call
