The two implementations of kvm_arch_create_memslot() in x86 and PPC are both good citizens and free up all local resources if creation fails. Return immediately (via a superfluous goto) instead of calling kvm_free_memslot(). Note, the call to kvm_free_memslot() is effectively an expensive nop in this case as there are no resources to be freed. No functional change intended.
