net: pcs: xpcs: fix error handling on failed to allocate memory

Drivers such as sja1105 and stmmac that call xpcs_create() expects an
error returned by the pcs-xpcs module, but this was not the case on
failed to allocate memory.

Fixed this by returning an -ENOMEM instead of a NULL pointer.

Fixes: 3ad1d171548e ("net: dsa: sja1105: migrate to xpcs for SGMII")
