[PATCH 4.4 015/105] driver core: Dont ignore class_dir_create_and_add() failure.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 84d0c27d6233a9ba0578b20f5a09701eb66cee42 upstream.

syzbot is hitting WARN() at kernfs_add_one() [1].
This is because kernfs_create_link() is confused by previous device_add()
call which continued without setting dev->kobj.parent field when
get_device_parent() failed by memory allocation fault injection.
Fix this by propagating the error from class_dir_create_and_add() to
the calllers of get_device_parent().
