[PATCH net 1/2] net/rds: do not fail init when CONFIG_SYSCTL=n

[Allison Henderson <achender@kernel.org>]

With CONFIG_SYSCTL=n, register_net_sysctl() and register_net_sysctl_sz()
are inline stubs that return NULL.  rds_sysctl_init(),
rds_ib_sysctl_init() and rds_tcp_init_net() all treat that NULL as
-ENOMEM, so RDS refuses to initialize at all even though every tunable
has a sane compiled-in default.

When RDS is built in, that is worse than a missing feature: the failed
rds_init() destroys rds_wq, but the rds_rdma initcall still runs, and
when rds_ib_sysctl_init() fails the same way, the error path in
rds_ib_init() flushes the already freed workqueue:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in touch_wq_lockdep_map
  ...
   __flush_workqueue
   rds_ib_init
   rds_rdma_init
  ...
  Allocated by task 1:
   alloc_workqueue_noprof
   rds_threads_init
   rds_init
  ...
  Freed by task 0:
   kfree
   rcu_do_batch

Only treat the NULL return as a failure when sysctl support is actually
compiled in.  The exit paths need no change: unregister_net_sysctl_table()
is an empty stub with CONFIG_SYSCTL=n and already tolerates a NULL header
otherwise.

The underlying problem of built-in transports initializing after
rds_init() has failed is independent of sysctl and is addressed
separately.
