From: Huiwen He <hehuiwen@kylinos.cn>
kfree() accepts NULL pointers, so checking tmp_cfile before freeing it
is unnecessary and triggers a Coccinelle warning.
Remove the redundant check. This does not change runtime behavior.
Fixes: 5693347de107 ("smb/client: use writable handle for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS compression")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202608160402.0ffQDoCg-lkp@intel.com/
