When kmem_cache_create fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

This patch adds error-handling code after calling kmem_cache_create.

If only one failed need to free the other.

fail:
           if (fanotify_mark_cache)
                            kmem_cache_destroy(fanotify_mark_cache);
           ...
           return -ENOMEM;
