3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]> 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.
