Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/17] netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: make pipapo_clone helper return NULL

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

Currently it returns an error pointer, but the only possible failure
is ENOMEM.

After a followup patch, we'd need to discard the errno code, i.e.

x = pipapo_clone()
if (IS_ERR(x))
	return NULL

or make more changes to fix up callers to expect IS_ERR() code
from set->ops->deactivate().

So simplify this and make it return ptr-or-null.
