From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fa05bdb89b01b098aad19ec0ebc4d1cc7b11177e ] This reverts commit 9ea3e52c5bc8bb4a084938dc1e3160643438927a. Cited commit added a check to make sure 'action' is not NULL, but 'action' is already dereferenced before the check, when calling flow_offload_has_one_action(). Therefore, the check does not make any sense and results in a smatch warning: include/net/flow_offload.h:322 flow_action_mixed_hw_stats_check() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'action' (see line 319) Fix by reverting this commit.
