From: Hui Zhu <teawater@xxxxxxxxxxxx> zs_malloc return 0 if it fail. zs_zpool_malloc will return -1 when zs_malloc return 0. But -1 make the return value unclear. For example: when zswap_frontswap_store call zs_malloc through zs_zpool_malloc, it will return -1 to its caller. The other return value is -EINVAL, -ENODEV or something else. This commit change zs_malloc to return ERR_PTR if fail. It didn't just let zs_zpool_malloc -ENOMEM becaue zs_malloc has two types of failures. size is not OK return -EINVAL and memory alloc fail return -ENOMEM.
