Subject: [PATCH] kernel: profile: fix error return code of create_proc_profile()

When proc_create() returns NULL to entry, no error return code of
create_proc_profile() is assigned.
To fix this bug, err is assigned with -ENOMEM in this case.

Fixes: e722d8daafb9 ("profile: Convert to hotplug state machine")
