Subject: [PATCH] crypto: remove redundant access() checks before loading certs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path method will perform an access()
check on the file and return a NULL path if it fails. By the
time we get to loading the cert files we know they must exist
on disk and thus the second access() check is redundant.
