3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9064d6055c14f700aa13f7c72fd3e63d12bee643 upstream. We accidentally don't set the error code on some error paths. It means return ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL and results in a NULL dereference in the caller.
