From 62a92c8f553e49270a0ee391b8733da71ab0aebc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2016 15:44:15 +0300 Subject: perf/core: Remove a redundant check There is no way to end up in _free_event() with event::pmu being NULL. The latter is initialized in event allocation path and remains set forever. In case of allocation failure, the error path doesn't use _free_event(). Having the check, however, suggests that it is possible to have a event::pmu==NULL situation in _free_event() and confuses the robots. This patch gets rid of the check.
