smc_ism_register_dmb() returns error codes set by the ISM driver which
are not guaranteed to be negative or in the errno range. Such values
would not be handled by ERR_PTR() and finally the return code will be
used as a memory address.
Fix that by using a valid negative errno value with ERR_PTR().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
