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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

IMHO, it's really confusing that "irq" contains the error code, not "error".
Especially when jumping to a meaningless label named "failure_indication"
("irq_failure" would be more intuitive).

So I prefer the original code, regardless of the label name.

Thanks for your constructive feedback.

Can another attempt make sense to concentrate the setting of a variable
at the end of this function with more pleasing identifiers?

    Have you actually tried to see if there's any change in the resulting 
object code? I've looked at ARM gcc 4.8.5's output and it didn't really change 
-- gcc was able to optimize these repetitive assignments pretty well...

    Diffstat also speaks about the futility of this patch.

    Pretty poor label name -- I would've preferred 'no_irq' or smth...

    The only good thing is that looking at the assembly, I was able to figure 
out that 'ndev' check at 'out_release' is futile... :-)

    I think it would have been equally confusing if 'error' was assigned to 
'ndev->irq', etc. It's just the duality of the result of these functions that 
makes them confusing...

    Yeah, the label sucks. :-)

> So I prefer the original code, regardless of the label name.

    On the 2nd thought, the patch can be fixed up and then merged.

    Ah, you've added empty lines where there was none... Please don't do this.
I'll ACK the v2 patch, given my comments are addressed.
