Something we could consider is to make it more obvious that it's
intentional.  Smatch counts it as intentional if there is an "err = 0;"
within a few lines of the goto.

But let's just leave it.  I've already marked this static checker
warning as dealt with.  If I see it again and maybe that will motivate
me to add an err = 0; assignment.  People imagine that kernel code must
be 100% perfect with no static checker warnings etc but really it's
almost the weekend and this is fine.
