If this is true, that will be fine for a driver.
But what about 'not started' application? In "Status Codes Returned" of
Exit(), it says
  EFI_SUCCESS
  The image specified by ImageHandle was unloaded. This condition only
  occurs for images that have been loaded with LoadImage() but have not
  been started with StartImage().
In this case, the caller of Exit() is not an application.

I don't think that it can be a critical reason.

If we admit this possibility, there will be bunch of fragile code elsewhere.

For me, your code is much unreadable.
Moreover, I remember that you have said, in a review of my patch, that
we should use "goto" only in error cases.
