NAK, same as with the other patch.

The ttm object is mandatory, asking the driver to destroy a ttm object 
which doesn't exists makes no sense at all and is a bug in the upper layer.

The NULL check is just a leftover from when the gtt and ttm objects 
where distinct. Please remove that one instead.

BTW: Bonus points for changing the (void *) cast into a much cleaner 
container_of().

Thanks,
Christian.
