Subject: mm/zsmalloc: allow NULL `pool' pointer in zs_destroy_pool()
zpool_destroy_pool() does not tolerate a NULL zs_pool pointer argument and
performs a NULL-pointer dereference. Although there are quite a few
zs_destroy_pool() users, still update it to be coherent with the
corresponding destroy() functions of the remainig pool-allocators (slab,
mempool, etc.), which now allow NULL pool-pointers.
For consistency, tweak zpool_destroy_pool() and NULL-check the
pointer there.
Proposed by Andrew Morton.
