notifier: change notifier_from_errno(0) to return NOTIFY_OK
This changes notifier_from_errno(0) to be NOTIFY_OK instead of NOTIFY_STOP_MASK | NOTIFY_OK. Currently, the notifiers which return encapsulated errno value have to do something like this: err = do_something(); // returns -errno if (err) return notifier_from_errno(err); else return NOTIFY_OK; This change makes the above code simple: err = do_something(); // returns -errno return return notifier_from_errno(err); Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
