There is not actually any cleanup, goto cleanup is just a do-nothing
goto.

In the original code, we returned success here.  That always looked like
a "forgot to set the error code" bug to me, but do-nothing labels always
introduce ambiguous looking "forgot to set the error code" bugs so I can
never be positive.

Could you take a look at the other "goto cleanup;" places in this
function and maybe add a comment, change it to something more clear like
"return 0;" or fix the error code?
