[dm-devel] [PATCH v2] dm log: use PTR_ERR value instead of -ENOMEM

[Mike Snitzer <snitzer redhat com>]

From: Dan Carpenter <error27 gmail com>

It's nicer to return the PTR_ERR() value instead of just returning
-ENOMEM.  In the current code the PTR_ERR() value is always equal to
-ENOMEM so this doesn't actually affect anything, but still...

In addition, dm_dirty_log_create() doesn't check for a specific -ENOMEM
return.  So this change is safe relative to potential for a non -ENOMEM
return in the future.
