Fix a leak on dax_add_host() error, where "goto out_cleanup_dax" is done
before setting pmem->dax_dev, which therefore issues the two following
calls on NULL pointers:

out_cleanup_dax:
         kill_dax(pmem->dax_dev);
         put_dax(pmem->dax_dev);

Seems inappropriate that this fix is within this patch series?

otoh I assume dax_add_host() has never failed so it doesn't matter much.


The series seems useful but is at v4 without much sign of review
activity.  I think I'll take silence as assent and shall slam it all
into -next and see who shouts at me.


Thanks Andrew for picking it up! Dan just reacted with feedback that
will help reducing the patch series size by removing intermediate
commits. I'll implement the requested changes and post a v5 in a few
days.

So far there are not behavior changes requested in Dan's feedback.

Should I keep this patch 01/12 within the series for v5 or should I
send it separately ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
