I suggest to modify the affected source code in a different way.

* The label “err_out” can be replaced by direct return statement,
can't it?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst?id=75caf310d16cc5e2f851c048cd597f5437013368#n456

* I interpret the function implementation in the way
that that there is only one if branch where clean-up of
system resources is needed.
Thus I would prefer to specify corresponding complete exception handling
directly at this place (instead of using the goto statement).

Regards,
Markus
