I already sent a much simpler fix:
[PATCH] block/crypto: Fix memory leak in create error path

The only thing that is needed is replacing the return with a goto.
Splitting it in three different error paths is unnecessary because the
cleanup function handle NULL values just fine.

It is wrong, too. The old code keep the error code, goto fail skipped
the ret = 0.
