Subject: [PATCH] UBI: fastmap: Fix add_vol() return value test in ubi_attach_fastmap()

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 functions 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 of add_vol() return value accordingly.
