Subject: NFC: use after free on error
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8ebafde00ed0c682fed8c34ac5ba90160ea0bb30;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

NFC: use after free on error

We returned a freed variable on some error paths when the intent was
to return a NULL.  Part of the reason this was missed was that the
code was confusing because it had too many gotos so I removed them
and simplified the flow a bit.
