Rule 17.7: "The value returned by a function having non-void return type
shall be used"

This patch fixes this by adding a check to the return value.
No functional changes.

First: Two such if()s want folding.

Then: Down from here there is

    if ( idle_vcpu[cpu] == NULL )
        return -ENOMEM;

which your change is rendering redundant for at least the vcpu_create()
path.

Finally, as we're touching error handling here (and mayby more a question
to the maintainers than to you): What about sr in the error case? It's
being allocated earlier in the function, but not freed upon error. Hmm,
looks like cpu_schedule_down() is assumed to be taking care of the case,
yet then I wonder how that can assume that get_sched_res() would return
non-NULL - afaict it may be called without cpu_schedule_up() having run
first, or with it having bailed early with -ENOMEM.

Yes, you are right.

cpu_schedule_down() should bail out early in case sr is NULL.

I'll write a patch.
