Hi Zhengchao Shao,
I agree this is a correct fix.
However, I think a more idiomatic approach to this problem
would be to use a goto label. Something like this (completely untested!).
diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/steering/dr_cmd.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/steering/dr_cmd.c
