Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 180/281] drm/amdkfd: NULL dereference
 involving create_process()

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

[ Upstream commit b312b2b25b6ac9e2eb03f4ca651b33108752de3a ]

We accidentally return ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL.  The caller is not
expecting that and it leads to an Oops.
