You ignored my suggestion from v1.  Here, let me write it out for you.

+static int shmem_init_inodecache(void)
 {
  	shmem_inode_cachep = kmem_cache_create("shmem_inode_cache",
  				sizeof(struct shmem_inode_info),
  				0, SLAB_PANIC|SLAB_ACCOUNT, shmem_init_inode);
+	if (!shmem_inode_cachep)
+		return -ENOMEM;
+	return 0;
 }

...

+	error = shmem_init_inodecache();
+	if (error)
+		goto out2;
