[PATCH 1/3] ima_fs: One check less in ima_write_policy() after error detection

From: SF Markus Elfring
Date: Wed Jan 25 2017 - 04:32:27 EST

Move the jump label directly before the desired assignment for the
variable "valid_policy" at the end so that the variable "result" will not
be checked once more after it was determined that a received input
parameter was not zero or a memory allocation failed.
Use the identifier "reset_validity" instead of the label "out".
