Yuan Can 0aeb0de528 net: thunderbolt: Fix error handling in tbnet_init()
[ Upstream commit f524b7289b ]

A problem about insmod thunderbolt-net failed is triggered with following
log given while lsmod does not show thunderbolt_net:

 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module thunderbolt-net.ko: File exists

The reason is that tbnet_init() returns tb_register_service_driver()
directly without checking its return value, if tb_register_service_driver()
failed, it returns without removing property directory, resulting the
property directory can never be created later.

 tbnet_init()
   tb_register_property_dir() # register property directory
   tb_register_service_driver()
     driver_register()
       bus_add_driver()
         priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
   # return without remove property directory

Fix by remove property directory when tb_register_service_driver() returns
error.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
