We need return retval when "mke2fs -d" failed, otherwise the "$?" would
be 0 which is misleading.

Using com_err() is sane.  After we get an error, the user can know which
error has occured.

Maybe exit(1) is better.  We just need to notify the user that an error
has occured.  An internal error of libext2fs should not be returned
to user.
