Subject: KVM: return an error code in kvm_vm_ioctl_register_coalesced_mmio()
commit aac5c4226e7136c331ed384c25d5560204da10a0 upstream.
If kvm_io_bus_register_dev() fails then it returns success but it should
return an error code.
I also did a little cleanup like removing an impossible NULL test.
Fixes: 2b3c246a682c ('KVM: Make coalesced mmio use a device per zone')
