[PATCH] powerpc/sstep: Return directly after a failed address_ok() in emulate_step()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2017-01-21 14:45:47
Also in: linuxppc-dev, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 15:30:15 +0100

* Return directly after a call of the function "address_ok" failed
  in a case block.

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Delete two error code assignments which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
