Subject: [PATCH 4.9 028/130] net: propagate dev_get_valid_name return code

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

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

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@...du.com>

[ Upstream commit 7892bd081045222b9e4027fec279a28d6fe7aa66 ]

if dev_get_valid_name failed, propagate its return code

and remove the setting err to ENODEV, it will be set to
0 again before dev_change_net_namespace exits.
