Subject: [PATCH][next] dm writecache: fix missing goto in error handling code

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently, the -EFBIG error condition when n_bitmaps_bits is
too large is falling through to the next statement and the
error assignment to r is potentially being ignored.  The code
should be exiting to the error path via label 'bad'. Fix
this by adding the missing goto statement.
