Coverity reported the following:

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1527093 ("Code maintainability issues")

This looks more like a "goto" is missing after the -EFAULT assignment?

Thanks for your attention!

Yes, this is legit, we already fixed it
