x86/dumpstack: Remove unneeded check in dump_trace()
Smatch complains that we have some inconsistent NULL checking. If "task" were NULL then it would lead to a NULL dereference later. We can remove this test because earlier on in the function we have: if (!task) task = current; Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120128105246.GA25092@elgon.mountain Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
