slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path

On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
new cache ptr) undefined.  The latter can be NULL if we could not
allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
later while trying to initialize it.  Initially we checked 'err'
immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
ignoring the value of 's':

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3a ("slab:
do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err && !memcg) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap.  Obviously, commit
f717eb3a intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
check should look like this:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            if (!memcg)
                return NULL;
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;
