Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] net, vxlan Fix compile warning [v3]

Fix a unintialized variable warning.

drivers/net/vxlan.c: In function ‘vxlan_sock_add’:
drivers/net/vxlan.c:2240:11: error: ‘sock’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  vs->sock = sock;
           ^
drivers/net/vxlan.c:2217:17: note: ‘sock’ was declared here
  struct socket *sock;
                 ^
[v2]: davem suggested resolving this by making create_v{4,6}_sock() return an err
pointer.
[v3]: Ben Hutchings pointed out a missed conversion
