Subject: [PATCH 4.4 089/133] netlink: Deal with ESRCH error in nlmsg_notify()

From: Yajun Deng <yajun.deng@...ux.dev>

[ Upstream commit fef773fc8110d8124c73a5e6610f89e52814637d ]

Yonghong Song report:
The bpf selftest tc_bpf failed with latest bpf-next.
The following is the command to run and the result:
$ ./test_progs -n 132
[   40.947571] bpf_testmod: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

test_tc_bpf_basic:FAIL:bpf_tc_detach unexpected error: -3 (errno 3)
test_tc_bpf:FAIL:test_tc_internal ingress unexpected error: -3 (errno 3)

The failure seems due to the commit
    cfdf0d9ae75b ("rtnetlink: use nlmsg_notify() in rtnetlink_send()")

Deal with ESRCH error in nlmsg_notify() even the report variable is zero.
