[PATCH] uml: return hotplug errors to host
I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were
never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was
returned instead of even an information-free error.
This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back
an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows
whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string
is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client.
There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.
