Subject: [PATCH 4.9 03/93] cgroup: fix error return value from cgroup_subtree_control()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit 3c74541777302eec43a0d1327c4d58b8659a776b upstream.

While refactoring, f7b2814bb9b6 ("cgroup: factor out
cgroup_{apply|finalize}_control() from
cgroup_subtree_control_write()") broke error return value from the
function.  The return value from the last operation is always
overridden to zero.  Fix it.
