[PATCH net] net: vrf: check register_netdevice_notifier() error in vrf_init_module()

Minhong He <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.netdev,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
vrf_init_module() ignores register_netdevice_notifier() errors and
continues module initialization, which can leave VRF loaded without its
netdev notifier registered.

Check the error and fail module initialization early.
