At log_new_dir_dentries() we always start by allocating a list element for the starting inode and then do a while loop with the condition being a list emptiness check. This however is not needed, we can avoid allocating this initial list element and then just check for the list emptiness at the end of the loop's body. So just do that to save one memory allocation from the kmalloc-32 slab. This allows for not doing any memory allocation when we don't have any subdirectory to log, which is a very common case.

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.
