kref: remove WARN_ON for NULL release functions
The kref functions check for NULL release functions. This WARN_ON seems rather pointless. We will eventually release and then just crash nicely. It is also somewhat expensive because these functions are inlined in a lot of places. Removing the WARN_ONs saves around 2.3k in this kernel (likely more in others with more drivers) text data bss dec hex filename 9083992 5367600 11116544 25568136 1862388 vmlinux-before-load-avg 9070166 5367600 11116544 25554310 185ed86 vmlinux-load-avg Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170315021431.13107-5-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
