Subject: [PATCH 079/323] tracing: Remove NULL check from current in
 tracing_generic_entry_update().
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.215-rt107.tar.xz

I can't imagine when or why `current' would return a NULL pointer. This
check was added in commit
      72829bc3d63cd ("ftrace: move enums to ftrace.h and make helper function global")

but it doesn't give me hint why it was needed.

Assume `current' never returns a NULL pointer and remove the check.
