Remove goto statement where function simply return value without doing
any cleanup action.

Simplify the return using goto label to avoid unneeded 'if' condition
check.

Remove the unneeded and redundant check of variable on goto.

Remove the assignment of NULL on local variable.
You are saying _what_ you are doing here, but not _why_ you are doing
this.  For example, this last sentance does not make sense, why would
you want to do such a thing (hint, I know, but you need to explain it in
the changelog...)

It's getting better, but the changelog still needs work.  Often times
that's the hardest part of writing a kernel patch.

thanks,
