This function error patch can be simplified, so do so.

Remove fail: label and somewhat obfuscating, used once "error_path"
function.

btw: I left it alone, but likely

#define PRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE 4096

is probably excessive as the maximum printk
buffer is 1024.

The xenbus_write might be longer though so
maybe it's OK to use 4096, but there is some
inequivalence there.

xenbus_write() handles writes up to 4K. However we are filling the
buffer with sprintf() which I assume is limited to 1K too so it indeed
doesn't seem useful to have PRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE set to 4.

vsnprintf is bounded only by addressable memory. ie: (void *)-1
