We only jump to this label in two places:

 - If dpm_prepare(PMSG_FREEZE) returns an error.
   hibernate_preallocate_memory() hasn't been called yet so there's no
   memory to free.

 - If hibernate_preallocate_memory() returns an error; in that instance
   hibernate_preallocate_memory() calls swsusp_free() to cleanup any
   memory that may have been allocated before returning the error.

AFAICS, I don't think we need an extra call to swsusp_free().  Happy to
change if I'm missing something though.
