3.16.79-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c93ad1337ad06a718890a89cdd85188ff9a5a5cc upstream. If register_snap_client fails in atalk_init, error code should be set, otherwise it will triggers NULL pointer dereference while unloading module.
