zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap() 

The "pool" pointer can be NULL at the end of the init_zswap().  (We
would allocate a new pool later in that situation)

So in the error handling then we need to make sure pool is a valid
pointer before calling "zswap_pool_destroy(pool);" because that function
dereferences the argument.
