If 'devm_init_badblocks()' fails, a previous 'blk_alloc_disk()' call must
be undone.

I think this is a problem...

This patch is speculative. Several fixes on error handling paths have been
done recently, but this one has been left as-is. There was maybe a good
reason that I have missed for that. So review with care!

I've not been able to identify a Fixes tag that please me :(

But I don't see this 'out' label in the function currently? Was that part of
your patch missing?

Hi,
the patch is based on the latest linux-next.
See [1]. The 'out' label exists there and is already used.

In fact, I run an own-made coccinelle script which tries to spot mix-up between return and goto.
In this case, we have a 'return -ENOMEM' after a 'goto out' which looks spurious. Hence, my patch.
