Functions virDomainSoundCodecDefFree(),
virCapabilitiesFreeStoragePool()
and virStorageSourceNVMeDefFree() are doing 'if (ptr)' NULL
checks right before a 'VIR_FREE(ptr)' call.
VIR_FREE() is a wrapper for g_free(). g_free(mem) documentation [1]
states:
'If mem is NULL it simply returns, so there is no need to check mem
against NULL before calling this function.'
This patch removes these needless NULL checks. The
virDomainSoundCodecDefFree() instance was found by accident
via code inspection, the other 2 instances were found using
Coccinelle.

Sending this one as RFC because I am unsure about its utility.

The idea behind this code pattern is that the structs grow
new fields over time. So someone might add
VIR_FREE(pool->foo);
with the lines you are deleting, this function is now
crash-prone.
So we keep the check for NULL even though it might look
redundant now.
