vfs: fix handling of lock allocation failure in lease-break case

Bruce Fields notes that commit 778fc546 ("locks: fix tracking of
inprogress lease breaks") introduced a possible error pointer
dereference on failure to allocate memory.  locks_conflict() will
dereference the passed-in new lease lock structure that may be an error pointer.

This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease
applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running)
could crash if a kmalloc() fails.

So instead of playing games with IS_ERROR() all over the place, just
check the allocation failure early.  That makes the code more
straightforward, and avoids this possible bad pointer dereference.
