net: Fix the rollback test in dev_change_name()
net: Fix the rollback test in dev_change_name()
In dev_change_name() an err variable is used for storing the original
call_netdevice_notifiers() errno (negative) and testing for a rollback
error later, but the test for non-zero is wrong, because the err might
have positive value as well - from dev_alloc_name(). It means the
rollback for a netdevice with a number > 0 will never happen. (The err
test is reordered btw. to make it more readable.)
