afs: Fix merge preference rule failure condition
syzbot reported a lock held when returning to userspace[1]. This is
because if argc is less than 0 and the function returns directly, the held
inode lock is not released.
Fix this by store the error in ret and jump to done to clean up instead of
returning directly.
[dh: Modified Lizhi Xu's original patch to make it honour the error code
from afs_split_string()]
[1]
