Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 09/14] net: chelsio: cxgb4vf: Fix an error code in cxgb4vf_pci_probe()

From: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit b82d71c0f84a2e5ccaaa7571dfd5c69e0e2cfb4a ]

During the process of driver probing, probe function should return < 0
for failure, otherwise kernel will treat value == 0 as success.

Therefore, we should set err to -EINVAL when
adapter->registered_device_map is NULL. Otherwise kernel will assume
that driver has been successfully probed and will cause unexpected
errors.
