net: macvlan: check register_netdevice_notifier() error in macvlan_init_module()

Browse source

macvlan_init_module() ignores register_netdevice_notifier() errors and
continues module initialization, which can leave macvlan loaded without
its netdev notifier registered.

Check the error and fail module initialization early.

This is a future looking check, register_netdevice_notifier()
only fails on double registration or if the registered notifier
itself returns an error.
