The blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition
(IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This was
modified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing the
function to proceed without logging the error in this case. However,
this change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev()
could be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer.
This commit separates the error handling logic by splitting the
initial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specific
error scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the general
error case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior of
md_autodetect_dev() calls.
