#1675539 — [PATCH V2] lightnvm: if LUNs are already allocated fix return

While creating new device with NVM_DEV_CREATE if LUNs are already
allocated ioctl would return -ENOMEM which is wrong.  This patch
propagates -EBUSY from nvm_reserve_luns which is correct response.

Fixes: ade69e243 ("lightnvm: merge gennvm with core")
Signed-off-by: Rakesh Pandit <rakesh@tuxera.com>

V2: return error code directly instead of using ret variable (Frans)

Why aren't you propagating ret in this version?

If you propagate the result of nvm_reserve_luns(), the casual reader
will immediately understand that any possible faulty result is
returned. returning -EBUSY here might suggest you're overriding
whatever this function returns.

I don't have a strong opinion for or against. That was being done
irrespective of this change already.  But you have a valid argument.
I would post V3.

Well nvm_reserve_luns either returns 0 or -EBUSY and it is unlikely
that return value would change and even if it does this can be
updated.
