While auditing all module notifiers I noticed a whole bunch of fail wrt the return value. Notifiers have a 'special' return semantics.
As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a comment that says "Don't care". >From this I've used NOTIFY_DONE when the function completely ignores the callback and notifier_to_error() isn't used.
