Thank you for catching this. The function is not expected to always
return a failure value. Fortunately it does not matter anyway because
the return value of the drop_link() operation is silently ignored by
its caller in fs/configfs/symlink.c, functions configfs_symlink()
and configfs_unlink(). For my comments see inline.
