Subject: dummy: fix oops when loading the dummy failed
From: dingtianhong <dingtianhong@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2c8a01894a12665d8059fad8f0a293c98a264121 ]
We rename the dummy in modprobe.conf like this:
install dummy0 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy0 --ignore-install dummy
install dummy1 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy1 --ignore-install dummy
We got oops when we run the command:
modprobe dummy0
modprobe dummy1

The reason is that when loading dummy, if __rtnl_link_register() return failed,
the init_module should return and avoid take the wrong path.
