Adjust a jump target to avoid a check repetition at the end after a memory
allocation failed for the local variable "newgenfs".

Why not replace the "goto out" with "return rc" rather
than add a target?

Would you accept to use the statement "return -ENOMEM;" there instead?

Regards,
Markus

That would be even better.

I *hate* code that does a jump to a label only to then do a
return/exit.  That said, see my earlier comments about not worrying
too much about performance of the error path and in this case I like
the "feel good" nature of the code where ever failure in the loop goes
to "out".
