Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 1/7] net: Fix fib notifer to return errno

Notifier handlers use notifier_from_errno to convert any potential error
to an encoded format. As a consequence the other side, call_fib_notifiers
in this case, needs to use notifier_to_errno to return the error from
the handler back to its caller.
