Subject: net: x25: fix one potential use-after-free issue

From: linzhang <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 64df6d525fcff1630098db9238bfd2b3e092d5c1 ]

The function x25_init is not properly unregister related resources on error handler.It is will result in kernel oops if x25_init init failed, so add properly unregister call on error handler.

Also, i adjust the coding style and make x25_register_sysctl properly return failure.
