Subject: [RESEND PATCH] x86: remove redundant check for kmem_cache_create()
Date:   Tue, 12 Jun 2018 18:16:49 +0800
Message-Id: <1528798609-111951-1-git-send-email-cgxu519@gmx.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The flag 'SLAB_PANIC' implies panic when encouter failure,
so there is no need to check NULL pointer and return error
code.
