patch 'app/testpmd: remove useless pointer checks' has been queued to stable release 20.11.6

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/23/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk/commit/cf28773c938acfdf13f181649facbad24efea7d1

Thanks.
