Subject: SUNRPC: return negative value in case rpcbind client creation error
From: Stanislav Kinsbursky <[email protected]>
commit caea33da898e4e14f0ba58173e3b7689981d2c0b upstream.
Without this patch kernel will panic on LockD start, because lockd_up() checks
lockd_up_net() result for negative value.
>From my pow it's better to return negative value from rpcbind routines instead
of replacing all such checks like in lockd_up().
