Subject: [PATCH 04/23] X.509: Fix error code in x509_cert_parse()

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

We forgot to set the error code on this path so it could result in
returning NULL which leads to a NULL dereference.

Fixes: db6c43bd2132 ("crypto: KEYS: convert public key and digsig asym to the akcipher api")
