take#2: [PATCH] [ATM]: Add error handling for proc_create fail

From: Wang Chen <hidden>
Date: 2008-03-03 02:47:36
Subsystem: atm, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Chas Williams, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

David Miller said the following on 2008-3-1 2:38:
This is not sufficient.  If this fails you need to unregister
the ioctl and all of the other things that get registered
before this procfs registry runs.
When proc_create() fail, we return -ENOMEM.
