Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] net, ppp: Report correct error code if unit
	allocation failed

Allocating unit from ird might return several error codes
not only -EAGAIN, so it should not be changed and returned
precisely. Same time unit release procedure should be invoked
only if device is unregistering.

Please review, thanks! (I've tested it a bit but more tests would
be really appreciated as well as comments)
