3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Eric Wheeler <git@linux.ewheeler.net>

commit 9b299728ed777428b3908ac72ace5f8f84b97789 upstream.

Fix null pointer dereference by changing register_cache() to return an int
instead of being void.  This allows it to return -ENOMEM or -ENODEV and
enables upper layers to handle the OOM case without NULL pointer issues.

See this thread:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/3521

Fixes this error:
  gargamel:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo /dev/sdh2 > /sys/fs/bcache/register

  bcache: register_cache() error opening sdh2: cannot allocate memory
