Subject: [PATCH 3.13 078/172] cgroup: fix error return value in cgroup_mount()

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

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

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit eb46bf89696972b856a9adb6aebd5c7b65c266e4 upstream.

When cgroup_mount() fails to allocate an id for the root, it didn't
set ret before jumping to unlock_drop ending up returning 0 after a
failure.  Fix it.
