From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently, the -EFBIG error condition when n_bitmaps_bits is too large is falling through to the next statement and the error assignment to r is potentially being ignored. The code should be exiting to the error path via label 'bad'. Fix this by adding the missing goto statement.
