Here and in several other places you did not convert gotos to returns
and removed the out: label. What I've seen in other places in the patch
the conversions are straightforward and you already did that in other
patches. Can you please do it here as well?

The unnecessary gotos are in functions where the patch auto freeing is
not done, this could be another cleanup round.
