Subject: [PATCH 2/7] iscsi-target: Less checks in iscsi_set_default_param()
 after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 12:50:10 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

A sanity check would be performed by the iscsi_set_default_param() function
even if it is known already that the passed variable contained
a null pointer.

* This implementation detail could be improved by adjustments
  for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Let us return directly if a call of the function "kzalloc" failed.
