[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 02/16] data: Be explicit in data_db check

[Richard Purdie]

The if statement current causes the size of parent to be calcuated which
is like a len() operation on a datastore. Since we're only interested
whether the value is none, checking explictly for this gives a
small performance gain.
