CVE-2025-38400
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfs: Clean up /proc/net/rpc/nfs when nfs_fs_proc_net_init() fails.

syzbot reported a warning below [1] following a fault injection in
nfs_fs_proc_net_init(). [0]

When nfs_fs_proc_net_init() fails, /proc/net/rpc/nfs is not removed.

Later, rpc_proc_exit() tries to remove /proc/net/rpc, and the warning
is logged as the directory is not empty.

Let's handle the error of nfs_fs_proc_net_init() properly.
