9p: avoid returning ERR_PTR(0) from mkdir operations

When mkdir succeeds, v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() and v9fs_vfs_mkdir() return
ERR_PTR(0) which is incorrect. They should return NULL instead for
success and ERR_PTR() only with negative error codes for failure.

Return NULL instead of passing to ERR_PTR while err is zero
Fixes smatch warnings:
  fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c:420 v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'
  fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:695 v9fs_vfs_mkdir() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'

The v9fs_vfs_mkdir() code was further simplified because v9fs_create()
can never return NULL, so we do not need to check for fid being set
separately, and the error path can be a simple return immediately after
v9fs_create() failure.
There is no intended functional change.

Fixes: 88d5baf690 ("Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *")
