Subject: [PATCH 07/46] selinux: Delete unnecessary variable assignments in
 policydb_index()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2017 13:40:25 +0100

The local variable "rc" was reset with an error code up to five times
before a memory allocation failure was detected.

Add a jump target so that this assignment will only be performed after
a concrete software failure.
