[PATCH v2] xen: don't continue xenstore initialization in case of errors

From: Stefano Stabellini
Date: Mon Nov 15 2021 - 19:12:35 EST


From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>

In case of errors in xenbus_init (e.g. missing xen_store_gfn parameter),
we goto out_error but we forget to reset xen_store_domain_type to
XS_UNKNOWN. As a consequence xenbus_probe_initcall and other initcalls
will still try to initialize xenstore resulting into a crash at boot.

Changes in v2:
- use return 0 for the success case
- remove err initializer as it is not useful any longer
