    Subject[PATCH 12/26] dynamic_debug: dont kill entire facility on error parsing ddebug_query
    Date
    From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>

    Currently, a parsing error on ddebug_query results in effective loss
    of the facility; all tables are removed, and the init-call returns error.
    This is way too severe, especially when an innocent quoting error can
    be the cause:

    Kernel command line: ... ddebug_query='file char_dev.c +p'
    yields:

    ddebug_exec_queries: query 0: "'file"
    query before parse <'file>
    ddebug_exec_queries: processed 1 queries, with 1 errs
    Invalid ddebug boot param 'file

    Fix this by zeroing return-code for query parse errors before
    returning from dynamic_debug_init().
