Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

When a client is added it isn't allowed to fail, but all the client's have various failure paths within their add routines. This creates the very fringe condition where the client was added, failed during add and didn't set the client_data. The core code will then still call other client_data centric ops like remove(), rename(), get_nl_info(), and get_net_dev_by_params() with NULL client_data - which is confusing and unexpected. If the add() callback fails, then do not call any more client ops for the device, even remove. Remove all the now redundant checks for NULL client_data in ops callbacks. Update all the add() callbacks to return error codes appropriately. EOPNOTSUPP is used for cases where the ULP does not support the ib_device - eg because it only works with IB.

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.
