I'm not sure about this change.
autofs4_catatonic_mode() could be called when there are remaining
entries in the wait queue, which is nulled, so autofs4_wait_release()
won't see the the discarded waits if it is called.
Ian, this is about something else really. The patch is about the
NULL check before calling kfree() -- it does the NULL check internally.
It is nothing about code flow or anything else, it is about calling
kfree() unconditionally regardless whenever the argument is actually
NULL or non-NULL. It makes the code shorter and easier to read.
