CVE-2025-38400

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfs: Clean up /proc/net/rpc/nfs when nfsfsprocnetinit() fails.

syzbot reported a warning below [1] following a fault injection in nfsfsprocnetinit(). [0]

When nfsfsprocnetinit() fails, /proc/net/rpc/nfs is not removed.

Later, rpcprocexit() tries to remove /proc/net/rpc, and the warning is logged as the directory is not empty.

Let's handle the error of nfsfsprocnetinit() properly.
