If it were me, I probably would have:

* Removed "fail_out" and turned the one "goto fail_out" to just return
the error.

* Consolidated the rest of the labels into a single "fail" label.

That's definitely just a style opinion though, and IMO the patch is
fine as-is and overall cleans up the code.
