This looks ok.

This is strange. We now check for an error of jffs2_init_1pass_list,
which currently always returns 0, so let's see where you change that.
Ah, you don't (it's in line 671 in this file). It's only in
jffs2_nand_1pass that you do a change, but even there we have a problem:

When malloc fails, we get no error output.

And the caller fails also, so the user in this case will see no error
message and no output. Not good.
