Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: bcm: One function call less in do_shash() after
 error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 22:22:20 +0100

The kfree() function was called in one case by the do_shash() function
during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.

* Reorder two function calls at the end.

* Add a jump target.
