kfree has taken the null pointer into account. Just remove the
redundant condition check before kfree.

I'm all for doing that if it actually removes conditionals, but

this seems rather pointless since there's still a condition. In that
case, I feel it's easier to understand the original code.

 Fine, make sense you have said. I just consider the duplication of function.
