Bug #165: Deletion of unnecessary null pointer checks

The function "free" performs input parameter validation.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/free.html

It is therefore not needed to check a passed pointer before this function call.
A corresponding update suggestion was generated by the software "Coccinelle"
from the following semantic patch approach.

@Remove_unnecessary_pointer_checks1@
expression x;

-if (x != \(0 \| NULL\))
    free(x);

-if (x != \(0 \| NULL\)) {
    free(x);
