Subject: [PATCH] I2O: Take care of the fail of sysfs_create_link()

Compile warning:
ignoring return value of `sysfs_create_link', declared with attribute warn_unused_result.

If sysfs_create_link failed, take care of the return value and do some error
handle after the fail.
Since sysfs_remove_link() will check whether a link exists, when remove the
link in error path, we don't need to care whether a link was created.
