You can't get rid of the error paths from here on out, because you still need to
release the PCI regions obtained from pci_request_regions() above.

To be quite honest, unless you are fixing real bugs, managed resource
converstions are more likely to add bugs than do anything truly
useful.

I strongly consider you just drop this change.
