Subject: [PATCH 3.16 51/99] staging: wlan-ng: ensure error return is
 actually returned

3.16.84-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit 4cc41cbce536876678b35e03c4a8a7bb72c78fa9 upstream.

Currently when the call to prism2sta_ifst fails a netdev_err error
is reported, error return variable result is set to -1 but the
function always returns 0 for success.  Fix this by returning
the error value in variable result rather than 0.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
