#1634989 — [PATCH] net/sched: remove redundant null check on head

FromColin King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Date2017-05-03 16:00 +0200
Subject[PATCH] net/sched: remove redundant null check on head
Message-ID<tD2YX-6a8-21@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

head is previously null checked and so the 2nd null check on head
is redundant and therefore can be removed.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1399505 ("Logically dead code")
