If memdup_user() fails then "pparmbuf" is an error pointer and we can't
pass it to kfree(). I changed the "goto _r871x_mp_ioctl_hdl_exit" to a
direct return.
I changed the earlier goto to a direct return as well for consistency
and removed the "pparmbuf = NULL" initializer since it's no longer
needed.

The memdup_user() patch was never sent to the list so Greg gets ten
lashes with a wet noodle for missing this bug.
Also this is a typical one err bug except for the worse than usual label
name. Using "one err" style error handling was supposed to prevent bugs
from being introduced in the future but instead it caused a future bug.
