Subject: tracing: Remove an unneeded check in trace_seq_buffer()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a26c8f0cf1e95106858bb4e23ca6dd14c9b842f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

tracing: Remove an unneeded check in trace_seq_buffer()

memcpy() returns a pointer to "bug".  Hopefully, it's not NULL here or
we would already have Oopsed.
