Subject[PATCH] smackfs: check for allocation failures in smk_set_access()
 smackfs: check for allocation failures in smk_set_access() 

While adding a new subject/object pair to smack_list, smk_set_access()
didn't check the return of kzalloc().

This patch changes smk_set_access() to return 0 or -ENOMEM, based on
kzalloc()'s return. It also updates its caller, smk_write_load(), to
check for smk_set_access()'s return, given it is no longer a void
return function.
