Subject: [PATCH 04/18] [media] RedRat3: One function call less in
 redrat3_transmit_ir() after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 10:50:24 +0200

The kfree() function was called in one case by the
redrat3_transmit_ir() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.

* Adjust jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Move the resetting for the data structure member "transmitting"
  at the end.

* Delete initialisations for the variables "irdata" and "sample_lens"
  at the beginning which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
