Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/8] hypfs: Fix error number left in struct pointer
 member

In hypfs_fill_super(), if hypfs_create_update_file() fails,
sbi->update_file is left holding an error number.  This is passed to
hypfs_kill_super() which doesn't check for this.

Fix this by not setting sbi->update_value until after we've checked for
error.

Fixes: 24bbb1faf3f0 ("[PATCH] s390_hypfs filesystem")
