Subject: [PATCH] NFS: check the return value of mempool_alloc()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

The check was first removed in 518662e ("NFS: fix usage of mempools.")
as the passed GFP flags is `GFP_NOIO`.
While now the flag is changed to `GFP_KERNEL` by 2b17d72 ("NFS: Clean
up writeback code"), so it is better to check it.
