kfree() & vfree() internally perform NULL check on the pointer handed
to it and take no action if it indeed is NULL. Hence there is no need
for a pre-check of the memory pointer before handing it to
kfree()/vfree().

Issue reported by ifnullfree.cocci Coccinelle semantic patch script.

It continues to be the case that I think this transform is bad. Same applies to the host1x patch.
