Subject: drm/amdkfd: NULL dereference involving create_process()
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b312b2b25b6ac9e2eb03f4ca651b33108752de3a ]
We accidentally return ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL. The caller is not
expecting that and it leads to an Oops.
Fixes: dd59239a9862 ("amdkfd: init aperture once per process")
