Subject: [PATCH 23/46] selinux: Move an assignment for a pointer in
 range_read()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2017 21:00:45 +0100

Move the assignment for the local variable "r" behind a call of the
function "next_entry" at the beginning so that it will only be set
after a successful call.
