If nd_integrity_init() fails we'd get del_gendisk() called,
but that's not correct as we should only call that if we're
done with device_add_disk(). Fix this by providing unwinding
prior to the devm call being registered and moving the devm
registration to the very end.

This should fix calling del_gendisk() if nd_integrity_init()
fails. I only spotted this issue through code inspection. It
does not fix any real world bug.
Looks good,

Should this grow a Fixes tag for the commit adding the problem?
