The Coverity checker spotted that thre was a memory leak if the second
or third kmalloc() failed.
Besides this, I've also consolidated the three error handlings into one.

Yeah, it is better indeed. Would you mind if i schedule this for a
little while later, since i have a couple of other fixes/additions as well ?

There's no need to hurry since the whole problem is only a small memory
leak in a very unlikely case.

But when you'll apply it, please used the improved version below (based
on a suggestion by Ingo Oeser).

The Coverity checker spotted that thre was a memory leak if the second
or third kmalloc() failed.
Besides this, I've also consolidated the three error handlings into one
and removed the unneeded casts.
