H A Dvsock.c7a4efe18 Tue Nov 08 04:17:05 CST 2022 Yuan Can <yuancan@huawei.com> vhost/vsock: Fix error handling in vhost_vsock_init()

A problem about modprobe vhost_vsock failed is triggered with the
following log given:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vhost_vsock': Device or resource busy

The reason is that vhost_vsock_init() returns misc_register() directly
without checking its return value, if misc_register() failed, it returns
without calling vsock_core_unregister() on vhost_transport, resulting the
vhost_vsock can never be installed later.
A simple call graph is shown as below:

vhost_vsock_init()
vsock_core_register() # register vhost_transport
misc_register()
device_create_with_groups()
device_create_groups_vargs()
dev = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without unregister vhost_transport

Fix by calling vsock_core_unregister() when misc_register() returns error.
