Subject: kexec: avoid freeing NULL pointer in image_crash_alloc()
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8c333ac2e4946a673b54f974d75397c947569c29;p=sagit-ice-cold%2Fkernel_xiaomi_msm8998.git

kexec: avoid freeing NULL pointer in image_crash_alloc()

Though there is no error if we free a NULL pointer, I think we could
avoid this behaviour.  Change the code a little in kimage_crash_alloc()
could avoid this kind of unnecessary free.
