[PATCH 1/1] m5602_s5k83a: check return value of kthread_create

[Pan Bian]

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

Function kthread_create() returns an ERR_PTR on error. However, in
function s5k83a_start(), its return value is used without validation.
This may result in a bad memory access bug. This patch fixes the bug.
