memcg: css_alloc should return an ERR_PTR value on error

mem_cgroup_css_alloc() was returning NULL on failure while cgroup core
expected it to return an ERR_PTR value leading to the following NULL
deref after a css allocation failure.  Fix it by return
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) instead.  I'll also update cgroup core so that it
can handle NULL returns.
