From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c75d1d5248c0c97996051809ad0e9f154ba5d76e ] Very similar to commit 544f287b8495 ("bonding: check error value of register_netdevice() immediately"), we should immediately check the return value of register_netdevice() before doing anything else. Fixes: 005db31d5f5f ("bonding: set carrier off for devices created through netlink") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+bbc3a11c4da63c1b74d6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Beniamino Galvani <bgalvani@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jay Vosburgh <j.vosburgh@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
