The scripts/sortextable.c code has originally copied some code from
scripts/recordmount.c, which used the same setjmp/longjmp method to
manage control flow.
Meanwhile recordmcount has improved its error handling via:
3f1df12019 ("recordmcount: Rewrite error/success handling").
So rewrite this part of sortextable as well to get rid of the setjmp/longjmp
kludges, with additional refactoring, to make it more readable and
easier to extend.
No functional changes intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
