Subject: [PATCH] [v2] nvdimm-btt: simplify code with the scope based resource management

Use the scope based resource management (defined in
linux/cleanup.h) to automate resource lifetime
control on struct btt_sb *super in discover_arenas().

Changelog:

v2: Set the __free attribute before kzalloc.
