Kuniyuki Iwashima 09aec57d83 rtnetlink: Panic when __rtnl_register_many() fails for builtin callers.
We will replace all rtnl_register() and rtnl_register_module() with
rtnl_register_many().

Currently, rtnl_register() returns nothing and prints an error message
when it fails to register a rtnetlink message type and handlers.

The failure happens only when rtnl_register_internal() fails to allocate
rtnl_msg_handlers[protocol][msgtype], but it's unlikely for built-in
callers on boot time.

rtnl_register_many() unwinds the previous successful registrations on
failure and returns an error, but it will be useless for built-in callers,
especially some subsystems that do not have the legacy ioctl() interface
and do not work without rtnetlink.

Instead of booting up without rtnetlink functionality, let's panic on
failure for built-in rtnl_register_many() callers.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
