4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c5d59528e24ad22500347b199d52b9368e686a42 ] altera_hw_filt_init() which calls append_internal() assumes that the node was successfully linked in while in fact it can silently fail. So the call-site needs to set return to -ENOMEM on append_internal() returning NULL and exit through the err path.
