The functions "debugfs_remove" and "kfree" tolerate the passing of null pointers. Hence it is unnecessary to check such arguments around the calls. Thus remove the extra condition check at two places.
Will a tag like “Generated-by: scripts/coccinelle/free/ifnullfree.cocci” be relevant here?
How do you think about to compare this change approach with another patch variant?
