CVE-2024-36939

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

nfs: Handle error of rpcprocregister() in nfsnetinit().

syzkaller reported a warning [0] triggered while destroying immature netns.

rpcprocregister() was called in initnfsfs(), but its error has been ignored since at least the initial commit 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2").

Recently, commit d47151b79e32 ("nfs: expose /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs in net namespaces") converted the procfs to per-netns and made the problem more visible.

Even when rpcprocregister() fails, nfsnetinit() could succeed, and thus nfsnetexit() will be called while destroying the netns.

Then, removeprocentry() will be called for non-existing proc directory and trigger the warning below.

Let's handle the error of rpcprocregister() properly in nfsnetinit().
