If xenvif_alloc() failes, netback_probe() reports success as well as
"online" uevent is emitted. It does not make any sense, but it just
misleads users.
The patch implements propagation of error code if xenvif creation fails.

Sorry, I don't follow. KOBJ_ONLINE event is not emitted in the event of
xenvif_alloc fails, is it?

This patch not only implements propagation of error code when xenvif
creation fails, but also when xenbus_scanf fails. You can simply write
"This patch implements propagation of error code for
backend_create_xenvif".
The rest of this patch looks good to me. Can you rewrite commit message
and resubmit, thanks.

If xenvif_alloc() or xenbus_scanf() fail in backend_create_xenvif(),
xenbus is left in offline mode but netback_probe() reports success.
The patch implements propagation of error code for backend_create_xenvif().
