If CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES is not defined, the variable ret might be
uninitialized when it goes to err1 through line 125 and 263 respectively.
So I change these goto err1 to return -EINVAL directly.

In dropping both goto's, you left the err1 label unused.  Wouldn't just
initializing ret to -EINVAL be easier and cleaner?  Then you wouldn't be
messing with the flow of the function.

The label err1 are also used in line 130 and 298. I change it to "return
-EINVAL" rather than initialize ret to -EINVAL is to keep it the same as line
115 and 253.  Otherwise, we should change line 115 and 253 to be goto err1,
too?

This is already fixed in the net tree.
