Thanks, that is better.

Just one more nitpick: in drbd_create_device, we usually order the
allocations/frees in a "last in, first out" fashion. That is, data
should be released in the reverse order that it was allocated. This also
helps with error handling, which is what the out_* labels are used for.

So maybe we can put that destroy_workqueue() under its own out_* label
and make sure it gets freed first in the cleanup section (since it gets
allocated last).
