====================
rtnetlink: Handle error of rtnl_register_module().
While converting phonet to per-netns RTNL, I found a weird comment
/* Further rtnl_register_module() cannot fail */
that was true but no longer true after commit addf9b90de ("net:
rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers").
Many callers of rtnl_register_module() just ignore the returned
value but should handle them properly.
This series introduces two helpers, rtnl_register_many() and
rtnl_unregister_many(), to do that easily and fix such callers.
All rtnl_register() and rtnl_register_module() will be converted
to _many() variant and some rtnl_lock() will be saved in _many()
later in net-next.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
