Subject: sev-dev: use guard for path
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4c5941ca1104d58a94e59100ebde97a162e72de4;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

sev-dev: use guard for path

Just use a guard and also move the path_put() out of the credential
change's scope. There's no need to do this with the overridden
credentials.
