Subject: [PATCH 02/18] srcu: Fix error handling in init_srcu_struct_fields()

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@...lfernandes.org>

The current error handling in init_srcu_struct_fields() is a bit
inconsistent.  If init_srcu_struct_nodes() fails, the function either
returns -ENOMEM or 0 depending on whether ssp->sda_is_static is true or
false. This can make init_srcu_struct_fields() return 0 even if memory
allocation failed!

Simplify the error handling by always returning -ENOMEM if either
init_srcu_struct_nodes() or the per-CPU allocation fails. This makes the
control flow easier to follow and avoids the inconsistent return values.

Add goto labels to avoid duplicating the error cleanup code.
