This isn't right.  The uverbs_kcalloc() should match every other
kcalloc() function and return NULL on error.  This actually buggy
because it returns both is error pointers and NULL so it will lead to
a NULL dereference.

Btw, when a function returns both error pointers and NULL the NULL
return means that the feature has been deliberately disabled.  It's not
an error pointer because it's deliberate.
