What are you fixing specifically? This looks like you are
reorganizing the exit path. While stylistic differences can exist on
the choice of function exit, claiming there is a "fix" means there is an
actual bug. Please clarify the bug so we can evaluate your change.

Also, this change suppresses some paths to mlog_exit(), which
impacts people tracing.
If there is an actual bug you are fixing, please tell us. We'll
work with you to correct it.
