Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR when we can't allocate a FID. The ENOSPC return value was getting all the way back to userspace, and that's confusing for a userspace program which isn't expecting read() to tell it there's no space left on the filesystem. The best error we can return to indicate a temporary failure caused by lack of client resources is ENOMEM. Maybe it would be better to sleep until a FID is available, but that's not a change I'm comfortable making.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
