Re: drm/i915/gvt: Use common error handling code in shadow_workload_ring_buffer()

Markus, I normally keep quiet on threads like this. I half agree with you. Yes, perhaps a reportError function would be a good idea, but it seems that what you are suggesting is trading an inline subroutine call for a spaghetti-code vondition. The goto is used only if you do not have any code
