 The advantages I see of using a signature that returns an error are:

1. Any users of make_node, this applies to both netfs_ and diskfs_, don't need
to
know what error has occured, just that one has occurred.

2. This signature is more consistent with the other functions in libnetfs and
libdiskfs such as make_peropen and make_protid.
