Impact: clean up

A NULL pointer to kfree is no longer unlikely, as seen by the
annotated branch profiler:

 correct incorrect  %        Function                  File              Line
 ------- ---------  -        --------                  ----              ----
  728571  1315540  64 kfree                          slab.c               3719

This makes sense, since we now encourage developers to just call kfree
without checking for NULL.
