Subject: [PATCH 4.14 055/137] media: tm6000: add error handling for dvb_register_adapter

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

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

From: Zhouyang Jia <jiazhouyang09@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit e95d7c6eb94c634852eaa5ff4caf3db05b5d2e86 ]

When dvb_register_adapter fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

This patch adds error-handling code after calling dvb_register_adapter.
