[PATCH -next] nvmet: fix return value check in nvmet_subsys_alloc()

[weiyj_lk]

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn>

In case of error, the function kstrndup() returns NULL pointer
not ERR_PTR(). The IS_ERR() test in the return value check
should be replaced with NULL test.

Looks good and inline with how other drivers use kstrndup(), thanks for
the fix.
