Subject: xfrm6: remove unneeded NULL check in __xfrm6_output()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b11b2e4bdef20e839d90dce96c5bbeafaf9616c;p=linux-beck.git

xfrm6: remove unneeded NULL check in __xfrm6_output()

We don't check for NULL consistently in __xfrm6_output().  If "x" were
NULL here it would lead to an OOPs later.  I asked Steffen Klassert
about this and he suggested that we remove the NULL check.
