So this on is obviously right as it wants to check for the probe
time scan. Although we don't need the braces.

This is something that goes back to before the damn of time, but I do
not think we actually need it. All the errors paths before alloc_disk
and add_disk just directly free the ns and never end up here.

This one is sort of correct due to the lazy disk addition. But we
could and probably should check for NVME_NSHEAD_DISK_LIVE instead.
