I don't think so.  The pattern here is pretty common throughout the
kernel; it's approximately:

	do_thing1();
	err = do_thing2();
	if (err)
		goto undo_thing1;
	err = do_thing3();
	if (err)
		goto undo_thing2;
	...

Functions are no-ops on failure, and the caller's just responsible for
cleaning up previous stuff.

I'll admit that's confusing.  Any suggestion to make it clearer welcome.
