3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Yongjun <[email protected]>

commit fa4d683af3693863bec761e2761a07e4c1351f86 upstream.

Return -ENOMEM if memory allocation fails in cache_create
instead of 0 (to avoid NULL pointer dereference).
