[PATCH net] net: bonding: check register_netdevice_notifier() error in bonding_init()

Minhong He <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.netdev,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
bonding_init() ignores register_netdevice_notifier() errors and still
returns success, which can leave the bonding module loaded without its
netdev notifier registered.

Check the error and unwind prior initialization on failure.
