Yes the memory should be released but not all paths that lead to the
label 'out' are actually errors:
288 if (affs_checksum_block(sb, bh)) {
289 pr_warn("Bitmap %u invalid - mounting %s read only.\n",
290 bm->bm_key, sb->s_id);
291 *flags |= SB_RDONLY;
292 goto out;
293 }
ie. the return value 'res' is still 0, and the filesystem is mounted
read-only.

The sbi->s_bitmap would be freed but at umount time it will
be freed again.
