GFS2: Fix possible null pointer deref in gfs2_rs_alloc
Despite the return value from kmem_cache_zalloc() being checked, the error wasn't being returned until after a possible null pointer dereference. This patch returns the error immediately, allowing the removal of the error variable. Signed-off-by: Andrew Price <anprice@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
