Phil Sutter 2acc8d3f0a netfilter: conntrack: helper: Replace -EEXIST by -EBUSY
[ 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
