A cleaner way is to have:

No. That's what you did previously. This patch does:
There's error paths in __create_synth_event() after the argv is allocated
that fail to free it. Add a jump to free it when necessary.

You failed to add:
if (IS_ERR(field)) {
- argv_free(argv);
ret = PTR_ERR(field);
- goto err;
+ goto err_free_arg;
}

No space here.

And a space here.
If you had just applied the patch I gave you, you would not have had these
mistakes.
Anyway, I'll update your patch and start testing it. No need to send
another patch.
