[PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 040/102] block: fix an error code in add_partition()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7bd897cfce1eb373892d35d7f73201b0f9b221c4 ]

We don't set an error code on this path.  It means that we return NULL
instead of an error pointer and the caller does a NULL dereference.

Fixes: 6d1d8050b4bc ("block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct")
