Like the comment says:

	/* Allow clearing via sysfs *only* for testing/debugging.
	 * Normally only a successful write may clear a badblock
	 */

The DO_DEBUG define and ifdefs are documentation identifying bits of
code that should be removed when it all seems to be working.
Maybe now is a good time to remove that code.
