Subject: block: fix wrong error return in elevator_init()

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.
