The kfree() function was called in two cases by the mac_ioctl() function
during error handling even if the passed variable did not contain a pointer
for a valid data item.
* This implementation detail could be improved by the introduction
of another jump label.
* Drop an unnecessary initialisation for the variable "buff" then.
