commit 1d625050c7c2dd877e108e382b8aaf1ae3cfe1f4 upstream.
init_nfsd() should not unregister pernet subsys if the register fails
but should instead unwind from the last successful operation which is
register_filesystem().
Unregistering a failed register_pernet_subsys() call can result in
a kernel GPF as revealed by programmatically injecting an error in
register_pernet_subsys().
Verified the fix handled failure gracefully with no lingering nfsd
entry in /proc/filesystems. This change was introduced by the commit
bd5ae9288d64 ("nfsd: register pernet ops last, unregister first"),
the original error handling logic was correct.

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.
