NTFS: Some utilities modify the boot sector but do not update the checksum.

Browse source 
Thus, relax the checking in fs/ntfs/super.c::is_boot_sector_ntfs() to
      only emit a warning when the checksum is incorrect rather than
      refusing the mount.  Thanks to Bernd Casimir for pointing this
      problem out.

- Remove checks for NULL before calling kfree() since kfree() does the
checking itself. (Jesper Juhl)
