[NET]: Allow netdev REGISTER/CHANGENAME events to fail

Browse Source 
This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event
handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME.  It also adds
the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the
errno value up to the notifier caller.

If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes
that operation to fail.  A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to
all event handlers.

Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored
and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent.

As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to
these events.

When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are
sent for all devices currently registered.  Should any of them
fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER
events to that handler for the devices which have already been
registered with it.  The handler registration itself will fail.
