There are two functions that implement ->alloc_skb(). a2mp_cahan_alloc_skb_cb() returns NULL. l2cap_sock_alloc_skb_cb() returns an ERR_PTR. The callers all check for ERR_PTRs and don't check for NULL. On the other hand bt_skb_alloc() and the core net alloc_skb() return NULL so returning an error pointer is inconsistent. This confusion between some alloc_skb() functions returning ERR_PTR and some returning NULL has been a source of bugs such as 787949039fcd ('Bluetooth: fix return value check'). This patch makes ->alloc_skb() return NULL and changes the callers to match.
