The 'out' label in find_first_block_group() does not do anything in terms
of cleanup.

It is better to directly return 'ret' instead of jumping to out to not
confuse readers. Additionally there is no need to initialize ret with 0.

I personally prefer returning fast aka the way you've done it but dunno
if David is a fan of this. In any case:

I'm not and the pattern that should be used is a mix of both. The first
part is for the 'obvious' cases:

Early exit from function can use return, eg. when a feature is not
enabled, when there's no cleanup needed, when the return is inside an if
and is not nested

For the rest it's recommended to use the goto and single return as it
may be a big chunk of code with a lot of nesting and a return somewhere
in the middle reads harder.

In example of find_first_block_group the first 'goto out' after
btrfs_search_slot would be a candidate to convert to return, but the
rest is inside a while loop so goto is preferred.

It is also important to keep one style and switch to it eventually and I
think that the goto + single return is quite common nowadays, exceptions
exist in the old code.
