tcegrp will be NULL and kfree() can handle this just fine (is not it the
whole point of this patchset - remove the check and just call kfree() even
if the pointer is NULL?). And if you wanted another label, than the
existing one should have been renamed to "free_exit" or "free_unlock_exit"
and new one would be "unlock_exit".
