I changed my mind given the concerns raised on removing the goto
statements. We could just do as below:

diff --git a/src/backend/commands/functioncmds.c
b/src/backend/commands/functioncmds.c
index 9548287217..1f1c74c379 100644
--- a/src/backend/commands/functioncmds.c

             (errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR),

+             errmsg("option \"%s\" specified more than once", defel->defname),
              parser_errposition(pstate, defel->location)));
     return false;                /* keep compiler quiet */

I'm not attaching above one line change as a patch, maybe Vignesh can
merge this into the main patch.
