The only users of free_spa() are alloc_link() and free_link(), and
in both cases:

- link->spa != NULL

- free_spa(link) is immediatly followed by kfree(link)

The check isn't needed, and it doesn't bring much to clear the link->spa
pointer. Drop both.

I like defensive programming but for this case I don't really care too much either way
