[PATCH] block: wrong return value

[Sudip Mukherjee]

while compiling integer err was showing as a set but unused variable.
elevator_init_fn can be either cfq_init_queue or deadline_init_queue
or noop_init_queue.
all three of these functions are returning -ENOMEM if they fail to
allocate the queue. 
so we should actually be returning the error code rather than
returning 0 always.

hi,
if my understanding was wrong and if it is indeed a case of unusued variable,
   then please discard this patch.
