Hi Natalia,

It seems like a similar issue is affecting rbd_dev->rbd_client and
rbd_dev->spec.  Unlike rbd_dev->opts, they are ref-counted and I'm
guessing that the verification tool doesn't go that deep.

I'd prefer all three to be addressed in the same change, since it's the
same error path.  Would you be willing to look into that and post a new
revision or should I treat just this patch as a bug report?

Thanks,

                Ilya
