Joel Becker a6795e9ebb configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors. 
The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group.  A return of NULL signifies an error.  Because
of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.

Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail.  This patch adds that ability by changing the
->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values.  These errors are
bubbled up appropriately.  NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for
compatibility.

Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.

This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218.
