Subject: [PATCH] scsi: fcoe: Return directly after a failed kzalloc() in
 fcoe_sysfs_fcf_add()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2023 12:34:41 +0100

The kfree() function was called in one case by
the fcoe_sysfs_fcf_add() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus return directly after a call of the function “kzalloc” failed
  at the beginning.

* Delete an initialisation for the variable “rc”
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
