nfsd: fix error handling of register_pernet_subsys() in init_nfsd()
commit 1d625050c7c2dd877e108e382b8aaf1ae3cfe1f4 upstream. init_nfsd() should not unregister pernet subsys if the register fails but should instead unwind from the last successful operation which is register_filesystem(). Unregistering a failed register_pernet_subsys() call can result in a kernel GPF as revealed by programmatically injecting an error in register_pernet_subsys(). Verified the fix handled failure gracefully with no lingering nfsd entry in /proc/filesystems. This change was introduced by the commit bd5ae9288d64 ("nfsd: register pernet ops last, unregister first"), the original error handling logic was correct.
