mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()
mempool_destroy() does not tolerate a NULL mempool_t pointer argument and
performs a NULL-pointer dereference. This requires additional attention
and effort from developers/reviewers and forces all mempool_destroy()
callers to do a NULL check
if (pool)
mempool_destroy(pool);
Or, otherwise, be invalid mempool_destroy() users.
Tweak mempool_destroy() and NULL-check the pointer there.
Proposed by Andrew Morton.
