See?  This goto looks exactly the same as the earlier buggy goto but
it's actually correct.  Meanwhile if you just used an explicit
"return 0;" then it would be easy to understand.

I rant about this all the time but it's because it's bad deliberately.
It's normal to have bugs, but this deliberate stuff really I can't
understand it...

10 lines earlier there is an explicit "return -ENODEV" so it's not as if
writing explicit returns will kill you.
