Subject: [PATCH 04/38] bonding: check return value of register_netdevice() in bond_newlink()

From: Cong Wang <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:31:54 -0700

[ Upstream commit c75d1d5248c0c97996051809ad0e9f154ba5d76e ]

Very similar to commit 544f287b8495
("bonding: check error value of register_netdevice() immediately"),
we should immediately check the return value of register_netdevice()
before doing anything else.

Fixes: 005db31d5f5f ("bonding: set carrier off for devices created through netlink")
