In the current kernel, then kzalloc() can't fail for small allocations, but if it did fail then we would have a NULL dereference in the error handling. Also in dlfb_usb_disconnect() if "info" were NULL then it would cause an Oops inside the unregister_framebuffer() function but it can't be NULL so let's remove that check.
