checkpatch: add some <foo>_destroy functions to NEEDLESS_IF tests
Sergey Senozhatsky has modified several destroy functions that can now be called with NULL values. - kmem_cache_destroy() - mempool_destroy() - dma_pool_destroy() Update checkpatch to warn when those functions are preceded by an if. Update checkpatch to --fix all the calls too only when the code style form is using leading tabs. from: if (foo) <func>(foo); to: <func>(foo); Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
