6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Phil Sutter phil@nwl.cc
[ Upstream commit 54416fd76770bd04fc3c501810e8d673550bab26 ]
The helper registration return value is passed-through by module_init callbacks which modprobe confuses with the harmless -EEXIST returned when trying to load an already loaded module.
Make sure modprobe fails so users notice their helper has not been registered and won't work.
