Kuniyuki Iwashima c246bfbb35 phonet: Handle error of rtnl_register_module(). 
[ Upstream commit b5e837c860 ]

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")

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 Restructured Text 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.
