bcache: cleaned up error handling around register_cache()
Fix null pointer dereference by changing register_cache() to return an int instead of being void. This allows it to return -ENOMEM or -ENODEV and enables upper layers to handle the OOM case without NULL pointer issues. See this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/3521 Fixes this error: gargamel:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo /dev/sdh2 > /sys/fs/bcache/register bcache: register_cache() error opening sdh2: cannot allocate memory BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000009b8 IP: [<ffffffffc05a7e8d>] cache_set_flush+0x102/0x15c [bcache] PGD 120dff067 PUD 1119a3067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: veth ip6table_filter ip6_tables (...)
