How do you think about to avoid the repetition of the pointer check
for the variable “mem_region”?
"mem_region"? Is this a clerical error, do you mean 'newname'?
No check found in __qcom_mdt_load for 'newname'.
'newname' is used for printing in '__qcom_mdt_load' in some cases, which
is a bit dangerous.
So it's necessary check it before using it.
Can the usage of other labels become more appropriate?
