Subject: [PATCH 10/10] netfilter: remove unnecessary goto statement for error recovery

From: Jean Sacren <sakiwit@...il.com>

Usually it's a good practice to use goto statement for error recovery
when initializing the module. This approach could be an overkill if:

 1) there is only one fail case;
 2) success and failure use the same return statement.

For a cleaner approach, remove the unnecessary goto statement and
directly implement error recovery.
