From: Yuan Can <yuancan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b8f79dccd38edf7db4911c353d9cd792ab13a327 ] The ntb_netdev_init_module() returns the ntb_transport_register_client() directly without checking its return value, if ntb_transport_register_client() failed, the NTB client device is not unregistered. Fix by unregister NTB client device when ntb_transport_register_client() failed.
