[PATCH 2/2] virtiofs: Improve error handling in virtio_fs_get_tree()

[Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@web.de>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2023 09:15:07 +0100

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

* Thus use another label.

* Move an error code assignment into an if branch.

* Delete an initialisation (for the variable “fc”)
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
