Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mISDN: One function call less in mISDN_sock_sendmsg()
 after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 10:30:29 +0100

The kfree_skb() function was called in one case by the
mISDN_sock_sendmsg() function during error handling even if a call of
the _l2_alloc_skb() function returned a null pointer.

This implementation detail could be improved by the introduction
of another jump label.
