Hm, I think this leaves the code with issues.

So let's say we got to index == 3 at the top of the loop, and
this fails.

We succeeded in initializing 0, 1, and 2, but 3 failed.

So we go to out_unwind_pags with index == 3...

this should fail, because it never got inserted, and...

> xfs_buf_hash_destroy(pag);

this still tries to destroy a NULL pag, no?

There also seems to be an existing issue w/the code where ag 0 is
never torn down in the error case, because first_initialized doesn't
stay set to 0:

if (!first_initialised)
first_initialised = index;

And we don't even tear down ag 1, because:

> for (; index > first_initialised; index--) {
> pag = radix_tree_delete(&mp->m_perag_tree, index);

when the loop reaches the first initialized AG, it stops.

So we seem to always leak at least 2 if we managed to get far enough
to initialize them.
