  Set the error variable inside the error path on failure. Saves
unnecessary variable assignment during normal execution.

It used to be that the other way was faster?  I'm pretty sure the
compiler can figure it out these days.  Please don't randomly start
changing people's prefered style unless it's drivers/staging/ code.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for the feedback. I did not know about the compiler
optimization resulting in original code being faster.
I will let the maintainers comment on breaking the style.
