Subject: [PATCH 5/7] staging: lustre: Less checks in mgc_process_recover_log()
 after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 12:21:17 +0100

A few checks would be performed by the mgc_process_recover_log() function
even if it is known already that the passed variable "pages" contained
a null pointer.

* Let us return directly if a call of the kcalloc() function failed.

* Move assignments for the variables "eof" and "req" behind
  this memory allocation.

* Delete a sanity check then.
