This is a personal feeling but I prefer the first version:

        if (!map) {
                map = kmalloc();
                if (!map)
                        err;
        }

than

        if (!map)
                map = kmalloc();

        if (!map)
                err;

Same below of course.


Thanks,
Miquèl
