This smells like a behavior change.  In the original code we called
trace_binder_transaction_failed_buffer_release().  Are you sure it's
correct?

Naming the labels after the goto location is an anti-pattern.

	aaa = kmalloc();
	if (!aaa)
		goto kmalloc_failed;

The label name doesn't provide useful information compared to the line
before.  If binder_transaction_buffer_acquire() fails we say "goto
err_translate_failed;" but actually translate didn't fail because we
haven't yet attempted to translate so the little information the label
does provide is misleading.  Grumble grumble etc.  Also "error:" is a
meaningless label name.  Name labels after what the label does
"goto release_buffer;".
