The patch (as824) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one
would expect for a deallocation routine.  (Note that free_percpu is
#defined as percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.)  A few callers are
updated to remove now-unneeded tests for NULL.  A few other callers
already seem to assume that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is
okay!

The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().
