Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: Improve exception handling in
 smb2_setup_async_request()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 13:40:46 +0200

Add a label so that a bit of exception handling can be better reused
from an if branch in this function implementation.
