Subject: [PATCH 2.6.32 60/62] dccp: catch failed request_module call in dccp_probe
 init

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wang Weidong <wangweidong1@...wei.com>

Check the return value of request_module during dccp_probe initialisation,
bail out if that call fails.
