netfilter: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls 

Author: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

The functions free_percpu() and module_put() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around the call is
not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
