net/net_namespace: Check the return value of register_pernet_subsys()
[ Upstream commit 0eb987c874dc93f9c9d85a6465dbde20fdd3884c ] In net_ns_init(), register_pernet_subsys() could fail while registering network namespace subsystems. The fix checks the return value and sends a panic() on failure. Signed-off-by: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@umn.edu> Reviewed-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
