[PATCH 4/5] firmware: fix detecting error on register_reboot_notifier()

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Mon Nov 20 2017 - 12:46:48 EST


register_reboot_notifier() can fail, detect this and address this
failure. This has been broken since v3.11, however the chances of
this failing here is really low.

Fixes: fe304143b0c3d ("firmware: Avoid deadlock of usermodehelper lock at shutdown")
