      configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors. · a6795e9e
      Joel Becker authored
      The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
      return a new item/group.  A return of NULL signifies an error.  Because
      of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.
      
      Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
      when these operations fail.  This patch adds that ability by changing the
      ->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values.  These errors are
      bubbled up appropriately.  NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for
      compatibility.
      
      Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.
      
      This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b792.
