Subject: [PATCH] driver core: use *switch* statement in really_probe()

There are series of comparisons of the 'ret' variable on the failure path of
really_probe(),  so the  *switch* statement  seems  more appropriate there.

Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@...entembedded.com>

The patch is against the 'driver-core-next' branch of Greg KH's 'driver-core.git'
repo.
