Subject: [PATCH v2] btusb: fix wrong use of PTR_ERR()

PTR_ERR() returns a signed long type value which is limited by IS_ERR(),
it must be a negative number and bigger than -MAX_ERRNO(-4095).

The bug here, btusb_setup_intel_patching()'s return value might come
from -PTR_ERR() which must be a positive number, we can't judge if it's
an error by "if (ret < 0)", the wrong use here leads to failure as
below, even panic.
