Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] regcache: flat: Remove unneeded check and error message for -ENOMEM

There is a convention in the kernel to avoid error messages
in the cases of -ENOMEM errors. Besides that, the idea behind
using struct_size() and other macros from overflow.h is
to saturate the size that the following allocation call will
definitely fail, hence the check and the error messaging added
in regcache_flat_init() are redundant. Remove them.
