3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
I believe that no stable or backport kernel needs to apply patches like this unless it's needed for other real patches to be applied more easily.

commit 16a8ef2751801346f1f76a18685b2beb63cd170f upstream.
The iput() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
