I'm dropping this patch because it really doesn't do much other than
add some code churn.  I suppose you can argue it removes one
conditional if datum is NULL, but that is such a corner case I'm not
worried about it.

If I were to merge this, I would probably expect "kfree(datum)" to be
converted to "kfree(comdatum)" (and similar in the cases below).
