Please re-read the "Centralized exiting of function", in this case
you'd have three labels for onion teardown if any of the space
reservations fails, you jump to the right one. Please take a look in
the i915 to similar initialization functions for examples.

This should not be needed. Either all of the nodes have been
successfully initialize or not. The only partial states are in the
intel_vgt_balloon function, which should use different labels to back
off from different stages of initialization.
