Subject: [PATCH v6 3/3] driver-core: print bus registration error value

If driver_register() is called with an device driver which previously
called bus_register() but failed, then print out the bus_register()
error code.

Signed-off-by: Florian Schmaus <flo@...kplace.eu>

Notes:
    Make it clear in the error message that the error code is from the bus
    registration and *not* from the driver registration.
