Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The kfree() function was called in one case by the do_shash() function
during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.

* Reorder two function calls at the end.

* Add a jump target.
