[ Upstream commit c391eb8366ae052d571bb2841f1ccb4d39f3ceb8 ]
The mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_create() function is supposed to return an error
pointer from mlxsw_afa_block_create(). The problem is that these
functions both return NULL instead of error pointers. Half the callers
expect NULL and half expect error pointers so it could lead to a NULL
dereference on failure.
This patch changes both of them to return error pointers and changes all
the callers which checked for NULL to check for IS_ERR() instead.

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.
