x86/intel_rdt: Propagate error in rdt_mount() properly

gcc complains:
"warning: âdentryâ may be used uninitialized in this function"

The error exit path in rdt_mount(), which deals with a failure in
rdtgroup_create_info_dir(), does not set the error code in dentry and
returns the uninitialized dentry value.

Add the missing error propagation.
