Smatch complains that we have some inconsistent NULL checking. If
"task" were NULL then it would lead to a NULL dereference later. We
can remove this test because earlier on in the function we have:
if (!task)
task = current;

x86/dumpstack: Remove unneeded check in dump_trace()
Smatch complains that we have some inconsistent NULL checking.
If "task" were NULL then it would lead to a NULL dereference
later. We can remove this test because earlier on in the
function we have:
if (!task)
task = current;
