Subject: ubi: fastmap: Fix add_vol() return value test in ubi_attach_fastmap()

From: Boris Brezillon <[email protected]>

commit 40b6e61ac72e99672e47cdb99c8d7d226004169b upstream.

Commit e96a8a3bb671 ("UBI: Fastmap: Do not add vol if it already exists") introduced a bug by changing the possible error codes returned by add_vol():
- this function no longer returns NULL in case of allocation failure but return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
- when a duplicate entry in the volume RB tree is found it returns ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) instead of ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)

Fix the tests done on add_vol() return val to match this new behavior.
