Subject: [PATCH v5 07/10] x86/kgdb: avoid redundant comparison of patched code
Date:   Tue, 13 Nov 2018 05:07:27 -0800
Message-ID: <20181113130730.44844-8-namit@vmware.com>
In-Reply-To: <20181113130730.44844-1-namit@vmware.com>

Received-SPF: None (EX13-EDG-OU-001.vmware.com: namit@vmware.com does not
 designate permitted sender hosts)
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

text_poke() already ensures that the written value is the correct one
and fails if that is not the case. There is no need for an additional
comparison. Remove it.
