Subject: [PATCH 2/2] net/smc: Improve exception handling in
 smc_llc_cli_add_link_invite()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2023 15:42:07 +0100

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

* Thus use another label.

* Merge two if statements.

* Omit an initialisation (for the variable “ini”)
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
