Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: dcb: set error code on failures

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@....com>

In function dcbnl_cee_fill(), returns the value of variable err on
errors. However, on some error paths (e.g. nla put fails), its value may
be 0. It may be better to explicitly set a negative errno to variable
err before returning.
