[PATCH] Allow NULL pointers in percpu_free

Browse Source 
The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would
expect for a deallocation routine.  (Note that free_percpu is #defined as
percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove
now-unneeded tests for NULL.  A few other callers already seem to assume
that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay!

The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().
