In case of memory allocation failure, we should release many things and should not return directly. The tricky part here, is that some (kzalloc + dma_pool_alloc) resources are allocated and stored in 'unusable' and a 'good' list. The 'good' list is then freed and only the 'unusable' list remains allocated. So, only this 'unusable' list is then freed in the error handling path of the function. So, instead of adding even more code in this already huge function, just 'continue' (as already done if dma_pool_alloc() fails) instead of returning directly. After the 'for' loop, we will then branch to the correct place of the error handling path when another memory allocation will (likely) fail afterward.
