[PATCH 3/9] MIPS: VPE: Exit vpe_release() early if vpe_run() isn't defined

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Sun Jul 12 2015 - 19:11:22 EST


vpe_run() is a weak symbol. If there's no definition of it, its value is
zero.

If vpe_run is zero, return failure early. We're going to fail anyway, so
there's no point in getting a VPE and attempting to load it.
