Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: caif: remove ineffective check

The check of the return value of sock_register() is ineffective.
"if(!err)" seems to be a typo. It is better to propagate the error code
to the callers of caif_sktinit_module(). This patch removes the check
statment and directly returns the result of sock_register().
