mm/slab_common.c: remove test if cache name is accessible
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since commit db265ec ("mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to
slab_common.c"), the kernel always duplicates the slab cache name when
creating a slab cache, so the test if the slab name is accessible is
useless.
