Subject: [PATCH] drivers/i915: Fix unnoticed failure of init_ring_common()

This commit add check for return value of init_ring_common() in the
init_render_ring(). Now, when failure is detected the error code is
propagated to the caller layer instead of being ignored.

I believe that this fix will have a positive impact on the oops that
I hit recently and which starts when init_ring_common() fails:

    [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed
             ctl 0001f001 head 0000000c tail 00000000 start 003eb000
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000006c
