Subject: [PATCH] x86: kvm: propagate register_shrinker return code

Patch "mm,vmscan: mark register_shrinker() as __must_check" is
queued for 4.16 in linux-mm and adds a warning about the unchecked
call to register_shrinker:

arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:5485:2: warning: ignoring return value of 'register_shrinker', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]

This changes the kvm_mmu_module_init() function to fail itself
when the call to register_shrinker fails.
