Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] coverity: fs/locks.c flp null check
We're dereferencing `flp' and then we're testing it for NULLness.
Either the compiler accidentally saved us or the existing null-pointer checdk
is redundant.
This defect was found automatically by Coverity Prevent, a static analysis tool.
