[PATCH] bpf: Use common error handling code in bpf_is_state_visited()

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:15:08 +0200

Use an additional label so that a bit of exception handling can be better
reused at the end of this function implementation.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
