Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 098/281] block: fix an error code in
 add_partition()

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

[ Upstream commit 7bd897cfce1eb373892d35d7f73201b0f9b221c4 ]

We don't set an error code on this path.  It means that we return NULL
instead of an error pointer and the caller does a NULL dereference.

Fixes: 6d1d8050b4bc ("block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct")
