Subject: [PATCH] tipc: Improve exception handling in tipc_bcast_init()

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>

The kfree() function was called in two cases by the tipc_bcast_init() function during error handling even if the passed variable
contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
kfree() validates the pointer before doing actual memory free. Your patch is not necessary.
