Currently when the call to percpu_ref_init fails ctx->file_data is
set to null and because there is a missing return statement the
following statement dereferences this null pointer causing an oops.
Fix this by adding the missing -ENOMEM return to avoid the oops.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereference")
Fixes: cbb537634780 ("io_uring: avoid ring quiesce for fixed file set unregister and update")

Nice, thanks! I'm guessing I didn't have the necessary magic debug
options to allow failure injection for failing.
