Actually, panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() will return NULL if there's no
heap pool attached to this VM and create=false, so this was correct.
This being said, I'm fine making that consistent by returning
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of NULL in that case. This way we don't have
two different semantics based on the 'create' value.

Oh, and please merge everything into a single patch instead of one patch
per call-site.

Regards,

Boris
