[PATCH 2/2] um: vector: Fix an error handling path in 'vector_parse()'

[PATCH 2/2] um: vector: Fix an error handling path in 'vector_parse()'

[Christophe JAILLET]

If 'find_device()' finds something, we set '*error_out' and we should
return an error. However, 'err' is known to be 0 at this point.

Explicitly return -EINVAL instead.

While at it, remove the initialization of 'err' at the beginning of the
function and also explicitly return an error code if the first check
fails.

Not sure if correct, but it looks spurious to set 'error_out' and return
0 (i.e. success)

Is that a Reviewed-by? :)
(Same for the other patch)

Thanks,

P.s: Something is odd with your mail setup, none of your mails made it to the 
mailinglist.
