The warning is specifically about invoking free for the buffer that we
have allocated via malloc(). Our implementation of malloc() and free()
stores some meta-information about allocated buffers at a negative
offset and we don't overwrite this area via blk_read().

If blk_get_dev() returns NULL, we should write a message like "No such
device" and return CMD_RET_FAILURE immediately.

Please, use log_err() for writing error messages. We don't need "Error:"
at the beginning of error messages.
