The save and ctl pointers are passed uninitialized to kfree() when svm_set_nested_state() follows the 'goto out_set_gif' path. While the issue could've been fixed by initializing these on-stack varialbles to NULL, it seems preferable to eliminate 'out_set_gif' label completely as it is not actually a failure path and duplicating a single svm_set_gif() call doesn't look too bad.
