HID: bpf: One function call less in call_hid_bpf_rdesc_fixup() after error detection

[PATCH] HID: bpf: One function call less in call_hid_bpf_rdesc_fixup() after error detection

The kfree() function was called in one case by the
call_hid_bpf_rdesc_fixup() function during error handling
even if the passed data structure member contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Thus adjust jump targets.

It is totally OK to free a null pointer through kfree() and the ENOMEM
case is an unlikely case, so I don't think the patch is necessary.

Would you ever like to avoid redundant data processing a bit more?

Hi,

This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless
review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing
list.  I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore.  Please do not
bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and
features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.

Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to
follow it at all.  The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by
almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of
behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and
inability to adapt to feedback.  Please feel free to also ignore emails
from them.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot
