Subject: [PATCH] xfs: handle register_shrinker error

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

xfs_alloc_buftarg doesn't handle register_shrinker error path. While it
is unlikely to trigger it is not impossible especially with large NUMAs.
Let's handle the failure to make the code more robust.

Hi,
this is not tested but it looks quite straightforward. There is one more
unchecked register_shrinker in xfs_qm_init_quotainfo but my absolute
lack of familiarity with the code didn't allow me to come up with a
mechanical fix like this one.
