[PATCH] kthread: Fix return value on kzalloc() failure in kthread_affine_preferred()

[Yu-Chun Lin]

kthread_affine_preferred() incorrectly returns 0 instead of -ENOMEM
when kzalloc() fails. Return 'ret' to ensure the correct error code is
propagated.

Fixes: 4d13f4304fa4 ("kthread: Implement preferred affinity")
