A simpler fix is to directly jump to the error label.
This has the advantage of having all errors go through a single cleanup code:

diff --git a/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_dev.c
b/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_dev.c
index 9e4f09d83e..fa47074b0b 100644
--- a/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_dev.c
+++ b/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_dev.c
@@ -480,7 +480,9 @@ rte_dev_event_callback_register(const char *device_name,
                RTE_LOG(ERR, EAL,
                        "The callback is already exist, no need "
                        "to register again.\n");
+               event_cb = NULL;
                ret = -EEXIST;
+               goto error;
        }

        rte_spinlock_unlock(&dev_event_lock);

What do you think?
