[PATCH v4 03/18] module: Properly propagate MODULE_STATE_COMING failure

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri May 01 2020 - 16:31:45 EST


Now that notifiers got unbroken; use the proper interface to handle
notifier errors and propagate them.

There were already MODULE_STATE_COMING notifiers that failed; notably:

- jump_label_module_notifier()
- tracepoint_module_notify()
- bpf_event_notify()

By propagating this error, we fix those users.
