The error label was better in the original code.  A "goto
error_cleanup_open", that tells you what the goto does.  "goto
dprc_scan_container_error" tells you nothing because you can see from
the line before that there was a container error.  No new information.
It's just like a function name tells you what a function does.  You
wouldn't name the function called_from_main().
