Richard Yao 380b08098e Linux SPL module init: Handle memory allocation failures correctly
Upon inspection of our code, I noticed that we assume that
__alloc_percpu() cannot fail, and while it probably never has failed in
practice, technically, it can fail, so we should handle that.

Additionally, we incorrectly assume that `taskq_create()` in
spl_kmem_cache_init() cannot fail. The same remark applies to it.

Lastly, `spl-init()` failures should always return negative error
values, but in some places, we are returning positive 1, which is
incorrect. We change those values to their correct error codes.
