Subject: [PATCH] staging: dgnc: implement proper error handling in dgnc_start()

dgnc_start() ignores errors in class_create() and device_create()
and it does not deallocate resources if dgnc_tty_preinit() fails.

The patch implements proper error handling.

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