TBH, this doesn't seem like a worthwhile exit point consolidation.  A
change like this might be justified if there were some common unlock
code that could be shared, but for a simple free and return errno by
jumping to a different exception block, rather than even a common exit
block, I don't see the value.  Thanks,

Alex
