workqueue: Remove unnecessary kfree() call in rcu_free_wq()
The data structure member "wq->rescuer" was reset to a null pointer in one if branch. It was passed to a call of the function "kfree" in the callback function "rcu_free_wq" (which was eventually executed). The function "kfree" does not perform more meaningful data processing for a passed null pointer (besides immediately returning from such a call). Thus delete this function call which became unnecessary with the referenced software update. Fixes: def98c84b6cd ("workqueue: Fix spurious sanity check failures in destroy_workqueue()") Suggested-by: Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@web.de> Signed-off-by: Zhang Qiang <qiang.zhang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
