syzbot reported an issue where we crash at setup time if failslab is
used. The issue is that io_wq_create() returns an error pointer on
failure, not NULL. Hence io_uring thought the io-wq was setup just
fine, but in reality it's a garbage error pointer.
Use IS_ERR() instead of a NULL check, and assign ret appropriately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
