Actually the way the code is structured is still functional this way.  
The indentation is all that is really wrong.

I suspect this actually results in smaller code that may be faster for 
the standard case since tb will almost always have a value anyway, and 
if tb doesn't exist then err would equal -ENETUNREACH which would just 
mean the err == -EAGAIN would be ignored.
