It scares me when you talk about being consistent with the existing
code... Just do it the correct way.
1) Don't do the "return ret;" if you know ret is zero.
2) Replace:
ret = vmbus_sendpacket(...);
return ret;
with
return vmbus_sendpacket(...);
3) Don't do "goto cleanup;" when "return ret;" will suffice. The
do-nothing goto is misleading because you assume it will cleanup
somthing. Some people used to misread CodingStyle to think that all
functions should only have one return but I have updated it so it is
more clear.
