Public bug reported:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
* Should not free NULL pointer. If the pointer is NULL as a result of memory
allocation (kmalloc()),
only return an error code and don't free (kfree()) a NULL pointer. Even
though kfree() won't perform
any operation if NULL is passed, this is not a good practice.
[Fix]
* Don't free NULL pointer "pka: Fix NULL pointer kfree() issue"
[Test Case]
* No change in functionality.
[Regression Potential]
* Regression can be considered very low as the pointer won't be kfree()'d only
in the case of it
being NULL. This is functionally equivalent to passing NULL pointer to
kfree() as no operation will be
performed in this case.
