Subject: appletalk: Fix atalk_proc_init() return path
From: Vincent Duvert <vincent.ldev@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d0f6ba2ef2c1c95069509e71402e7d6d43452512 upstream.
Add a missing return statement to atalk_proc_init so it doesn't return
-ENOMEM when successful. This allows the appletalk module to load
properly.
Fixes: e2bcd8b0ce6e ("appletalk: use remove_proc_subtree to simplify procfs code")
