Unnecessary 'null' check before method call
Reports null checks followed by a method call that will definitely return false when null is passed (e.g. Class.isInstance).
Such a check seems excessive as the method call will always return false in this case.
Example:
if (x != null && myClass.isInstance(x)) { ... }
After the quick-fix is applied:
if (myClass.isInstance(x)) { ... }
