Subject: [PATCH 4/5] netfilter: nf_tables: fix error return code

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

Convert a zero return value on error to a negative one, as returned
elsewhere in the function.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier ret; expression e1,e2;
@@
(
if (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }
|
ret = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}
// </smpl>

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>
