Subject: [PATCH 1/1][net-next] dccp: catch failed request_module call in
 dccp_probe init   (was: [PATCH net-next] dccp: add check request_moduls in
 setup_jprobe)

Hi Wang,

thank you for the patch, please find refactored version below, changes are
 (a) if request_module fails, return its error code instead of the previous ret,
 (b) refactor code -- setup_jprobe becomes superfluous.

Please add your signed off if ok, since it is essentially your patch.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wang's patch revised <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
dccp: catch failed request_module call in dccp_probe init

Check the return value of request_module during dccp_probe initialisation,
bail out if that call fails.
