Subject: [PATCH] edd: fix error paths in module_init

This patch fixes error handlings when kzalloc() or edd_device_register()
failed in module_init. It needs to clean registered edd_devices before
return error.

Also this patch fixes return value of module_init. module_init should not
return positive value.
