Subject: [PATCH 04/12] staging: lustre: Split a condition check in
 class_register_type()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 14:10:55 +0200

The kfree() function was called in up to three cases by the
class_register_type() function during error handling even if
the passed data structure element contained a null pointer.

* Split a condition check for memory allocation failures.

* Improve this implementation detail by the introduction of a few
  jump labels.
