I really doubt if zpool will be used by anyone other than zswap anytime soon.

Yes, that's why I asked. I don't think that zpool_destroy_pool()
will gain any significant amount of users soon (well, who knows),
so I'm fine with keeping it out of checkpatch checks. Just checked

Is it really worth it?

There isn't any use of zpool_destroy_pool preceded by an if
There is one and only one use of zpool_destroy_pool.

Yes, that's why I asked. I don't think that zpool_destroy_pool()
