Can another imperative wording be helpful for the change description?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?id=18445bf405cb331117bc98427b1ba6f12418ad17#n151

Would an other commit message be a bit nicer?

I propose to add the jump target “put_node” so that a bit of common exception
handling code can be better reused at the end of this function implementation.
