Subject: [PATCH] scsi: cxgbi: remove redundant __kfree_skb call on skb

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

The error return path via label rel_resource checks for a non-null
skb before free'ing it.  However, skb is always null at this exit
path, so the null check and the free are redundant and can be removed.
Removing this allows the original goto's to rel_resource to be cleaned
up; the first can be replaced by a return of -EINVAL, the second can
be replaced by a more appropriate -ENOMEM return since allow_wr has
failed go allocate some memory.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically Dead Code")
