In this case we could process this activity of resources freeing into one place. I mean line 449 in the source code (failure case).

Thanks for the suggestion. Since the bail and bail_no_root error paths 
are used before hfs_find_init and after hfs_find_exit are called in the 
normal execution case, moving hfs_find_exit under the bail label 
wouldn't work.

Perhaps this can be done by introducing another goto label. Any thoughts 
on the following?
