The config_log_add() function first calls config_log_put() with the
variable 'cld' and then jumps to label 'out_cld', which will call
the same function with the same 'cld' variable. However, at this
point, 'cld' might have been already freed by the first invocation
of config_log_put(). Even if we remove the invocation at that point,
we will still get into trouble. This is because, in the error path,
just below the label 'out_cld', we try to put 'params_cls' and
'sptlrpc_cld', which might also have been freed by config_log_put().

The point is that, config_llog_data::cld_sptlrpc and
config_llog_data::cld_params members are assigned at the beginning
of this function.

To avoid this, do not call config_log_put() inside the else block,
immediately jump to 'out_cld' instead. Moreover, remove assignments
to config_llog_data::cld_sptlrpc and config_llog_data::cld_params at
the beginning, since we already assign them below in the function
with 'cld_lock' held.

As an additional benefit, code size gets smaller.
