ipmr: fix error path when ipmr_new_table fails commit 0bbbf0e7d0e7 ("ipmr, ip6mr: Unite creation of new mr_table") refactored ipmr_new_table, so that it now returns NULL when mr_table_alloc fails. Unfortunately, all callers of ipmr_new_table expect an ERR_PTR. This can result in NULL deref, for example when ipmr_rules_exit calls ipmr_free_table with NULL net->ipv4.mrt in the !CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES version. This patch makes mr_table_alloc return errors, and changes ip6mr_new_table and its callers to return/expect error pointers as well. It also removes the version of mr_table_alloc defined under !CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_COMMON, since it is never used.
