Zhipeng Lu ba6eb3a77a octeontx2-af: fix a use-after-free in rvu_npa_register_reporters
[ Upstream commit 3c91c909f13f0c32b0d54d75c3f798479b1a84f5 ]

The rvu_dl will be freed in rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy(rvu_dl)
after the create_workqueue fails, and after that free, the rvu_dl will
be translate back through rvu_npa_health_reporters_create,
rvu_health_reporters_create, and rvu_register_dl. Finally it goes to the
err_dl_health label, being freed again in
rvu_health_reporters_destroy(rvu) by rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy.
In the second calls of rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy, however,
it uses rvu_dl->rvu_npa_health_reporter, which is already freed at
the end of rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy in the first call.

So this patch prevents the first destroy by instantly returning -ENONMEN
when create_workqueue fails. In addition, since the failure of
create_workqueue is the only entrence of label err, it has been
integrated into the error-handling path of create_workqueue.

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.
