bch2_printbuf_make_room() does return -ENOMEM but
bch2_prt_printf() doesn't check the return code. And there are too 
many
callers of bch2_prt_printf() don't check allocation_failure.

IIRC, krealloc() doesn't free old pointer if new-size allocation 
failed.
There is no printbuf_exit called in label err then memory leak 
happens.
