Subject: [PATCH 5/5] bpf: Improve exception handling in trie_update_elem()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2023 20:28:11 +0100

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

* Thus adjust jump targets.

* Reorder data processing steps at the end.

* Delete an initialisation (for the variable “new_node”)
  and a repeated pointer check which became unnecessary
  with this refactoring.
