> dccp: fix panic caused by failed initialisation
>
> This fixes a kernel panic reported thanks to Andre Noll:
>
> if DCCP is compiled into the kernel and any out of the initialisation
> steps in net/dccp/proto.c:dccp_init() fail, a subsequent attempt to create
> a SOCK_DCCP socket will panic, since inet{,6}_create() are not prevented
> from creating DCCP sockets.
>
> This patch fixes the problem by propagating a failure in dccp_init() to
> dccp_v{4,6}_init_net(), and from there to dccp_v{4,6}_init(), so that the
> DCCP protocol is not made available if its initialisation fails.

Applied, thanks Gerrit.
