Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/3] configfs: Report errors in config_*_init_type_name()

config_item_set_name() may fail but its error code is not checked in
config_*init_type_name().

This patch adds the missing error checking and make config_*_init_type_name()
report errors.

This patch needs to modify the callers of
config_*_init_type_name(), including fs/dlm/config.c and
fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c
