Hi Lu

Adding to the comments from Russell and Heiner, if i remember
correctly, the exact same change has been rejected before, for the
same reasons.  When submitting a patch, please do a search first and
see if somebody else has already received a reject.

Did you use a static analyser to find this? Please submit a patch to
the static analyser to stop it reporting code like this. That will
save wasting peoples time having to develop such bad patches, and
reviewers having to reject them.
