xfrm: Fix ignored return value in xfrm6_init()

[ Upstream commit 40781bfb ]

When IPv6 module initializing in xfrm6_init(), register_pernet_subsys()
is possible to fail but its return value is ignored.

If IPv6 initialization fails later and xfrm6_fini() is called,
removing uninitialized list in xfrm6_net_ops will cause null-ptr-deref:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
CPU: 1 PID: 330 Comm: insmod
RIP: 0010:unregister_pernet_operations+0xc9/0x450
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 unregister_pernet_subsys+0x31/0x3e
 xfrm6_fini+0x16/0x30 [ipv6]
 ip6_route_init+0xcd/0x128 [ipv6]
 inet6_init+0x29c/0x602 [ipv6]
 ...

Fix it by catching the error return value of register_pernet_subsys().
