2 warnings generated.

The function scoped err variable is uninitialized when the flow jumps
into the if statement. The if scoped err variable shadows the function
scoped err variable, preventing the err assignments within the if
statement to be reflected at the function level, which will cause
uninitialized use when the goto statements are taken.

Just remove the if scoped err declaration so that there is only one
copy of the err variable for this function.

v1 -> v2:

* Updated the wording of the commit message to use proper terms like
  scoping and shadowing, thanks to review from Nick (let me know if the
  wording isn't up to snuff).
