[PATCH 01/34] VFS: Make clone_mnt() and copy_tree() return error codes

[Valerie Aurora]

copy_tree() can theoretically fail in a case other than ENOMEM, but
always returns NULL which is interpreted by callers as -ENOMEM.
Convert to return an explicit error.  Convert clone_mnt() for
consistency and because union mounts will add new error cases.
