[PATCH RESEND] btrfs: Fix exception handling in relocating_repair_kthread()

From: Markus Elfring
Date: Mon Mar 03 2025 - 15:32:03 EST

The label “out” was used to jump to another pointer check despite of
the detail in the implementation of the function
“relocating_repair_kthread” that it was determined already that
a corresponding variable contained a null pointer because of
a failed call of the function “btrfs_lookup_block_group”.

* Thus use more appropriate labels instead.

* Delete a redundant check.


This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Fixes: f7ef5287a63d ("btrfs: zoned: relocate block group to repair IO failure in zoned filesystems")
