If bfad_thread_workq(bfad) was not BFA_STATUS_OK then we freed "im"
and then dereferenced it.

I did a little clean up because it seemed nicer to return directly
instead of doing a superfluous goto.  I looked at other functions in
this file and it seems like returning directly is standard.

I sent this last July and asked about it again in November but I never
heard back.  It still applies fine with 2 lines of fuzz.
