Thanks for including the extra details in the patch, but it wasn't only that
I didn't think it should be needed (I was wrong there).  I also don't like
the patch.  It isn't at all clear to me that it will do the right thing.
There is a reason that we block until the bad block lists has been updated,
and to just not block because it is inconvenient just doesn't seem right.

I would rather change the sequencing so that the badblock list can be updated
at this point.
Something like that patch below, but I'm not 100% sure of it yet and I'm
about to go on leave so I'm not sure I'll be able to commit to it for a while.

If you could review and test I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
