Static analysis shows that pointer "svms" cannot be NULL because it points
to the object "struct svm_range_list".

Remove the extra NULL check. It is meaningless and harms the readability
of the code.

Thank you, I agree with the patch. You could improve it further, though. This was the only way this function could fail. Therefore you could make this function a void function and remove the error handling in the caller.
