Re: [PATCH] remove unnecessary checks for NULL in zfree and zsfree

[Taylor West <krokodileglue@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to section 7.22.3.3 paragraph 2 of the final committee draft
of the C11 standard, if free() is passed a NULL pointer then "no
action occurs". The current checks on `p' in zfree and zsfree are
unnecessary---this patch removes them.
