[PATCH 4/5] block-LDM: Less function calls in ldm_validate_privheads() after error detection

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:31:01 +0100

The kfree() function was called by the ldm_validate_privheads() function
during error handling even if the passed variable "ph" contained
a null pointer.

* Corresponding implementation details could be improved by adjustments
  for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* The variable "result" will eventually be set to an appropriate value.
  Thus let us omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.
