/libxfs/xfs_btree.c: 2641 in xfs_btree_new_root()

2645            if (error)
2646                    goto error0;


It seems like a false alarm, but maybe we can just remove the out0 label as 
below?

Subject: xfs: get rid of out0 goto label from xfs_btree_new_root

Get rid of the useless out0 goto label and return 0 directly in case
of falling to alloate the new block.
