Subject: ipv6: remove unnecessary inet6_sk check
Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 11:53:18 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161228165318.5afrtlbulsgymc4c@codemonkey.org.uk> (raw)

np is already assigned in the variable declaration of ping_v6_sendmsg.
At this point, we have already dereferenced np several times, so the
NULL check is also redundant.
