[PATCH] can: Use common error handling code in vxcan_newlink()

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 22:22:24 +0200

* Add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better
  reused at the end of this function.

* Adjust two condition checks.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
