   HEAD: 1f5781725dcbb026438e77091c91a94f678c3522 commoncap: Handle memory allocation failure

Just a small fix to properly set the return code on error.

Subject: [PATCH] commoncap: Handle memory allocation failure.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at xattr_getsecurity() [1],
for cap_inode_getsecurity() is returning sizeof(struct vfs_cap_data) when
memory allocation failed. Return -ENOMEM if memory allocation failed.
