[PATCH] block: fix bd_holder_dir kobject_create_and_add() error handling

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-11-04 19:30:08

Commit 83cbce957446 ("block: add error handling for device_add_disk /
add_disk") added error handling to device_add_disk(), however the goto
label for the bd_holder_dir kobject_create_and_add() failure did not set
the return value correctly, and so we can end up in a situation where
kobject_create_and_add() fails but we report success.

I'm just going to fold this one in, as it's top-of-tree.
