From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 5f0163a5ee9cc7c59751768bdfd94a73186debba upstream.

The put_device() 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.
