NULL check before some freeing functions is not needed.
Based on checkpatch warning
"kfree(NULL) is safe this check is probably not required"
and kfreeaddr.cocci by Julia Lawall.

Hey, guys, we yelled at Markus Elfring for sending hundreds of patches
like this. The reason then was too much code churn for too little
value: the if() might be unnecessary but it really doesn't cost very
much in terms of execution time, so the code churn disadvantage greatly
outweighs any benefits.
The reason hasn't changed, so please stop this otherwise you're going
to turn the very valuable 0day test infrastructure into a thousand
patch spambot.
