Subject: [PATCH] clk: aggregate return codes of notify chains

In case there are multiple notify chains for the same clocks (because they
were registered by different users), we need to propagate potential failure
of any single one of them to the caller. Otherwise we eg risk violating the
V/f curve when a notifier is used for DVFS.

Applied to clk-next. Let's see if anything blows up.
