Subject: [ 017/102] dm cache: fix error return code in cache_create

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@...ndmicro.com.cn>

commit fa4d683af3693863bec761e2761a07e4c1351f86 upstream.

Return -ENOMEM if memory allocation fails in cache_create
instead of 0 (to avoid NULL pointer dereference).
