tty: vt, return error when con_startup fails
commit 6798df4c5fe0a7e6d2065cf79649a794e5ba7114 upstream. When csw->con_startup() fails in do_register_con_driver, we return no error (i.e. 0). This was changed back in 2006 by commit 3e795de763. Before that we used to return -ENODEV. So fix the return value to be -ENODEV in that case again. Fixes: 3e795de763 ("VT binding: Add binding/unbinding support for the VT console") Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Reported-by: "Dan Carpenter" <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
