Considering this is called only by cpufreq_passive_unregister_notifier
and cpufreq_passive_unregister_notifier is called only by devfreq_passive_event_handler
where the check is already done, isn't that redundant.
We should never reach delete_parent_cpu_data with no p_data.
(Unless you want to use that function somewhere else)
