H A Ddebugobjects.hb778ae25 Tue Apr 23 14:51:11 CDT 2013 Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> debugobjects: Make debug_object_activate() return status

In order to better respond to things like duplicate invocations
of call_rcu(), RCU needs to see the status of a call to
debug_object_activate(). This would allow RCU to leak the callback in
order to avoid adding freelist-reuse mischief to the duplicate invoations.
This commit therefore makes debug_object_activate() return status,
zero for success and -EINVAL for failure.
