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.
