Subject: [PATCH][V2] scsi: cxgb3i: remove redundant null check and kfree on skb

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

On the error exit path, skb is always null, so the non-null check
and __kfree_skb call are redundant.  Remove the redundant code and
just directly return with the appropriate error return code.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#114328 ("Logically Dead Code")
