Moving rules from matcher to matcher should not fail.
However, if it does fail due to various reasons, the error flow
should allow the kernel to continue functioning (albeit with broken
steering rules) instead of going into series of soft lock-ups or
some other problematic behaviour.
This patch fixes the error flow for moving simple rules:
- If new rule creation fails before it was even enqeued, do not
poll for completion
- If TIMEOUT happened while moving the rule, no point trying
to poll for completions for other rules. Something is broken,
completion won't come, just abort the rehash sequence.
- If some other completion with error received, don't give up.
Continue handling rest of the rules to minimize the damage.
- Make sure that the first error code that was received will
be actually returned to the caller instead of replacing it
with the generic error code.
All the aforementioned issues stem from the same bad error flow,
so no point fixing them one by one and leaving partially broken
code - fixing them in one patch.

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 reStructuredText 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.
