Ah, nice trick. Thanks.

It doesn't change functionality.
Cache is NULL in this case, and we return it next:

I'm not sure though if svn_cache__membuffer_cache_create() guarantees
that cache remains NULL in case of error. Maybe this should be
documented as such to allow callers to ignore errors this way.

New patch below, also fixing a space-before-paren and another
similar error leak.

  svn_fs__get_global_file_handle_cache): Fix a possible error leak.
