Subject: [PATCH 3.11 120/208] libceph: create_singlethread_workqueue() doesn't return ERR_PTRs

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit dbcae088fa660086bde6e10d63bb3c9264832d85 upstream.

create_singlethread_workqueue() returns NULL on error, and it doesn't
return ERR_PTRs.

I tweaked the error handling a little to be consistent with earlier in
the function.
