9p: drop broken unused error path from p9_conn_create()
Post p9_fd_poll() error path which checks m->poll_waddr[i] for PTR_ERR
value has the following problems.
* It's completely unused. Error value is set iff NULL @wait_address
has been specified to p9_pollwait() which is guaranteed not to
happen.
* It dereferences @m after deallocating it (introduced by 571ffeaf and
spotted by Raja R Harinath.
* It returned the wrong value on error. It should return
poll_waddr[i] but it returnes poll_waddr (introduced by 571ffeaf).
* p9_mux_poll_stop() doesn't handle PTR_ERR value. It will try to
operate on the PTR_ERR value as if it's a normal pointer and cause
oops.
As the error path is bogus in the first place, there's no reason to
hold onto it. Kill it.
