cppcheck 2.2 reports the following false positive:
lib/dns/dispatch.c:1241:14: warning: Either the condition 'resp==NULL' is redundant or there is possible null pointer dereference: resp. [nullPointerRedundantCheck]
if (disp != resp->disp) {
^
lib/dns/dispatch.c:1212:11: note: Assuming that condition 'resp==NULL' is not redundant
if (resp == NULL) {
^
lib/dns/dispatch.c:1241:14: note: Null pointer dereference
if (disp != resp->disp) {
^
Apparently this version of cppcheck gets confused about conditional
"goto" statements because line 1241 can never be reached if 'resp' is
NULL.
Move a code block to prevent the above false positive from being
reported without affecting the processing logic.
