Subject: check device_create_file() return code in
 usb_create_sysfs_intf_files()

Hello,

I just noticed that usb_create_sysfs_intf_files() ignores device_create_file() 
return code and sets intf->sysfs_files_created to 1, even if sysfs_add_file_mode() 
returned -ENOMEM (or later sysfs_add_one() returned -EEXIST).

Shouldn't we check retval for 0 before setting intf->sysfs_files_created?
