mm, memcg: fix error return value of mem_cgroup_css_alloc() 

commit 11d6761218 upstream.

When I run my memcg testcase which creates lots of memcgs, I found
there're unexpected out of memory logs while there're still enough
available free memory.  The error log is

  mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': Cannot allocate memory

The reason is when we try to create more than MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX memcgs,
an -ENOMEM errno will be set by mem_cgroup_css_alloc(), but the right
errno should be -ENOSPC "No space left on device", which is an
appropriate errno for userspace's failed mkdir.

As the errno really misled me, we should make it right.  After this
patch, the error log will be

  mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': No space left on device
