devpts: fix error handling in devpts_mntget()



commit c9cc8d01fb04117928830449388512a5047569c9 upstream.

If devpts_ptmx_path() returns an error code, then devpts_mntget()
dereferences an ERR_PTR():

    BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff5
    IP: devpts_mntget+0x13f/0x280 fs/devpts/inode.c:173

Fix it by returning early in the error paths.

Reproducer:

    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sched.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>
    #define TIOCGPTPEER _IO('T', 0x41)

    int main()
    {
        for (;;) {
            int fd = open("/dev/ptmx", 0);
            unshare(CLONE_NEWNS);
            ioctl(fd, TIOCGPTPEER, 0);
        }
    }
