GCC 12 enhanced -Waddress when comparing array address to null [0],
which warns:
drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c: In function ‘vp_del_vqs’:
drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c:257:29: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘true’ for the pointer operand in ‘vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks + (sizetype)((long unsigned int)i * 256)’ must not be NULL [-Waddress]
257 | if (vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks[i])
| ^~~~~~
In fact, the verification is comparing the result of a pointer
arithmetic, the address "msix_affinity_masks + i", which will always
evaluate to true.
Under the hood, free_cpumask_var() calls kfree(), which is safe to pass
NULL, not requiring non-null verification. So remove the verification
to make compiler happy (happy compiler, happy life).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
