The kfree() function was called in up to two cases by
the cros_ec_cmd_xfer_i2c() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Adjust jump targets.

* Delete two initialisations which became unnecessary
  with this refactoring.

The patch saves few instructions but makes the code less readable a bit.  I
would prefer to leave the code as is or wait for other reviewers' input.

Do you find advices applicable from another information source
also for this function implementation?
