Subject: [PATCH 4.19 34/58] stm class: Fix module init return on allocation failure

From: Wang Hui <john.wanghui@...wei.com>

commit 927633a6d20af319d986f3e42c3ef9f6d7835008 upstream.

In stm_heartbeat_init(): return value gets reset after the first
iteration by stm_source_register_device(), so allocation failures
after that will, after a clean up, return success. Fix that.
