bcache: cleaned up error handling around register_cache()
commit 9b299728ed777428b3908ac72ace5f8f84b97789 upstream.
Fix null pointer dereference by changing register_cache() to return an int
instead of being void. This allows it to return -ENOMEM or -ENODEV and
enables upper layers to handle the OOM case without NULL pointer issues.
See this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/3521
Fixes this error:
gargamel:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo /dev/sdh2 > /sys/fs/bcache/register
