The cache->slots and cache->slots_ret is already checked before we try to
drain it. And kvfree can handle the NULL pointer itself. So remove the
NULL pointer check here.

Prove that swapcache_free_entries() doesn't change cache->slots.

Yeh... I see. I thought swap_slots_cache_mutex could totally guard against this.
