Remove redundant null pointer checks before free()

Remove redundant null pointer checks before free()

Per applicable standards, free() with a null pointer is a no-op.
Systems that don't observe that are ancient and no longer relevant.
Some PostgreSQL code already required this behavior, so this change
does not introduce any new requirements, just makes the code more
consistent.
