This is completely the wrong way to fix this.  The general principle is
that a function cleans up for itself if it returns an error.  If you
add hacks other places for a function failing you end up with a mess.

I think the right way to fix this is to add something like:

	if (rv && new_smi->io.io_size && smi_info->io.io_cleanup) {
		smi_info->io.io_cleanup(&smi_info->io);
		smi_info->io.io_cleanup = NULL;
	}

at the end of try_smi_init().
