Subject: [ 070/108] HID: hidraw: improve error handling in hidraw_init()

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru>

commit bcb4a75bde3821cecb17a71d287abfd6ef9bd68d upstream.

Several improvements in error handling:
- do not report success if alloc_chrdev_region() failed
- check for error code of cdev_add()
- use unregister_chrdev_region() instead of unregister_chrdev()
  if class_create() failed

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
