[PATCH] kernel-audit: Delete unnecessary checks before two function calls

From: SF Markus Elfring
Date: Sun Nov 15 2015 - 06:43:52 EST

The functions consume_skb() and kfree_skb() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately.
Thus the tests around their calls are not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
