This is true, but what's the saving? kfree() has an identical check, but by the time you get to it, the result of this one is cached, so it's something like < 1 instruction cycle saving (because the instruction will be pipelined). If the maintainers of particular drivers want to integrate this, that's OK, but I'd rather not do pure code churn on the older drivers.
