In nvm_bb_chunk_sense alloc_page allocates memory which is released at
the end of the function. But if nvm_submit_io_sync_raw fails the error
check skips the release and leaks the allocated page. To fix this issue
I moved the __free_page call before error check.

You’re right, there is a leak here. Fix looks good to me.
