uml: network interface hotplug error handling
This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug.
The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the
failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the
configuration. This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't
work. This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an
error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure.
eth_configure failed to check for many failures. Even when it did check,
it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present,
but partially initialized and non-working device could result. It now
checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been
done.
The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just
void.
