Subject: [PATCH 3/3] staging: lustre: Less function calls in
 class_register_type() after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 12:48:58 +0100

The functions "kfree" and "kobject_put" were called in a few cases by the
function "class_register_type" during error handling even if the passed
variable contained a null pointer.

This implementation detail could be improved by the adjustment of
jump targets.
