From: Wei Yongjun <[email protected]>
Fix to return a negative error code from the idr_alloc() error handling
case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.
Also fix the return value check of idr_alloc() since idr_alloc return
negative errors on failure, not zero.
Fixes: 2ae0f17df1cd ("genetlink: use idr to track families")
