Subject: ubi: fastmap: Fix add_vol() return value test in ubi_attach_fastmap()
From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 40b6e61ac72e99672e47cdb99c8d7d226004169b upstream.
Commit e96a8a3bb671 ("UBI: Fastmap: Do not add vol if it already
exists") introduced a bug by changing the possible error codes returned
by add_vol():
- this function no longer returns NULL in case of allocation failure
but return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
- when a duplicate entry in the volume RB tree is found it returns
ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) instead of ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
Fix the tests done on add_vol() return val to match this new behavior.
Fixes: e96a8a3bb671 ("UBI: Fastmap: Do not add vol if it already exists")
