debugobjects: Make debug_object_activate() return status
In order to better respond to things like duplicate invocations of call_rcu(), RCU needs to see the status of a call to debug_object_activate(). This would allow RCU to leak the callback in order to avoid adding freelist-reuse mischief to the duplicate invoations. This commit therefore makes debug_object_activate() return status, zero for success and -EINVAL for failure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
