zsmalloc: zs_malloc: return ERR_PTR on failure

zs_malloc returns 0 if it fails.  zs_zpool_malloc will return -1 when
zs_malloc return 0.  But -1 makes the return value unclear.

For example, when zswap_frontswap_store calls zs_malloc through
zs_zpool_malloc, it will return -1 to its caller.  The other return value
is -EINVAL, -ENODEV or something else.

This commit changes zs_malloc to return ERR_PTR on failure.  It didn't
just let zs_zpool_malloc return -ENOMEM becaue zs_malloc has two types of
failure:

- size is not OK return -EINVAL
- memory alloc fail return -ENOMEM.
