Thanks for pointing this out. I will use a goto label to unify the error 
handling logic and avoid code duplication in v2.

Regarding the stable kernel rules, do you consider this bug severe enough 
to warrant a Cc: stable tag? Since this error path is unlikely to be 
triggered during normal operation and the leak is small, I didn't think 
it was critical enough to bother the stable maintainers.
