While I am no fan of numbered labels, these initialization stages are
referenced several other places in the driver. As a result, renaming the
labels makes the rest of the code harder to follow.

I suggest you submit a fix for just the leak. And then, if the hpsa
maintainers agree, we can entertain a separate patch to improve the
naming.

Thank you!
