[PATCH] overlayfs: fix ovl_get_redirect() error handling

[Arnd Bergmann]

The newly introduced ovl_get_redirect() function returns an unintialized
variable when kmalloc() fails:

fs/overlayfs/dir.c: In function âovl_set_redirectâ:
fs/overlayfs/overlayfs.h:92:6: error: âretâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This makes it return -ENOMEM instead.

Fixes: 496654b0792e ("ovl: redirect on rename-dir")
