Why not return a value here instead of BUG-ing out?

Could we just stop here instead of bugging out? I mean we adding memory so
if it does not work, the failure path seems to not add the memory?

I think you are going to hit a memory leak. If we fail, you do not
kfree(*r), should you be doing that?

Would it make sense to check here as well?

So wouldn't that mean we could still online the 'rc' amount of pages?
