4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0958b33ef5a04ed91f61cef4760ac412080c4e08 upstream. Fix register_snapshot_trigger() to return error code if it failed to allocate a snapshot instead of 0 (success). Unless that, it will register snapshot trigger without an error.
