VFS: collect_mounts() should return an ERR_PTR
commit 52e220d357a38cb29fa2e29f34ed94c1d66357f4 upstream. This should actually be returning an ERR_PTR on error instead of NULL. That was how it was designed and all the callers expect it. [AV: actually, that's what "VFS: Make clone_mnt()/copy_tree()/collect_mounts() return errors" missed - originally collect_mounts() was expected to return NULL on failure] Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
