phonet: Handle error of rtnl_register_module().

Browse source

Before commit addf9b90de ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl
message handlers"), once the first rtnl_register_module() allocated
rtnl_msg_handlers[PF_PHONET], the following calls never failed.

However, after the commit, rtnl_register_module() could fail silently
to allocate rtnl_msg_handlers[PF_PHONET][msgtype] and requires error
handling for each call.

Handling the error allows users to view a module as an all-or-nothing
thing in terms of the rtnetlink functionality.  This prevents syzkaller
from reporting spurious errors from its tests, where OOM often occurs
and module is automatically loaded.

Let's use rtnl_register_many() to handle the errors easily.

Fixes: addf9b90de ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers")
