Potentially returning success was intentional?  This is from static
analysis and I can't be totally sure.

Returning -EEXIST here looks good to me, but could you remove the above pr_info
as well?  I mean the following change is needed.

-		pr_info("node%d already exists\n", nid)
+		ret = -EEXIST;

We don't need the above pr_info here because we delegate a warning message to
its caller wi_node_notifier().

This can close another warning report below.
