[PATCH 5/20] Staging: lustre: llite: dir: remove unneeded null test before free

[Julia Lawall]

Kfree can cope with a null argument, so drop null tests.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@ expression ptr; @@

- if (ptr != NULL)
  kfree(ptr);
// </smpl>

This patch additionally simplifies one case where the free, and thus the
jump to the end of the function, is not needed.
