[PATCH] jbd: avoid kfree(NULL)
There are a couple of places where JBD has to check to see whether an unneeded
memory allocation was performed. Usually it _was_ needed, so we end up
calling kfree(NULL). We can micro-optimise that by checking the pointer
before calling kfree().
Thanks to Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> for identifying this.
