6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d9ff882b54f99f96787fa3df7cd938966843c418 ]
When powering on a null_blk device that is not already on, the return
value ret that is initialized to be count is reused to check the return
value of null_add_dev(), leading to nullb_device_power_store() to return
null_add_dev() return value (0 on success) instead of "count".
So make sure to set ret to be equal to count when there are no errors.
Fixes: a2db328b0839 ("null_blk: fix null-ptr-dereference while configuring 'power' and 'submit_queues'")
