net: ionic: Fix error handling in ionic_init_module()
[ Upstream commit 280c0f7cd0aa4d190619b18243110e052a90775c ]
A problem about ionic create debugfs failed is triggered with the
following log given:
[ 415.799514] debugfs: Directory 'ionic' with parent '/' already present!
The reason is that ionic_init_module() returns ionic_bus_register_driver()
directly without checking its return value, if ionic_bus_register_driver()
failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting
the debugfs of ionic can never be created later.
ionic_init_module()
ionic_debugfs_create() # create debugfs directory
ionic_bus_register_driver()
pci_register_driver()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without destroy debugfs directory
Fix by removing debugfs when ionic_bus_register_driver() returns error.
