Subject: [PATCH] fs/partitions/check: add sysfs error handling


Handle errors thrown in disk_sysfs_symlinks(), and propagate back
to caller.

The callers and associated functions don't do a real good job
of handling kobject errors anyway (add_partition, register_disk,
rescan_partitions), so this should do until something better comes
along.
