Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] sched: Simplify return logic in sched_copy_attr()

From: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@...il.com>

The logic in this function is a little contorted:
* Rather than having chained gotos for the -EFBIG case, just
  return -EFBIG directly.
* Now, the label 'out' is no longer needed, and 'ret' must be zero
  zero by the time we fall through to this point, so just return 0.
