Subject: [PATCH] cxl/core: Avoid using dev uninitialized in devm_cxl_add_decoder()

Clang warns:

drivers/cxl/core/bus.c:527:6: warning: variable 'dev' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (rc)
            ^~
drivers/cxl/core/bus.c:541:13: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        put_device(dev);
                   ^~~
drivers/cxl/core/bus.c:527:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is
always false
        if (rc)

        if (cxld->interleave_ways < 1) {

drivers/cxl/core/bus.c:498:20: note: initialize the variable 'dev' to
silence this warning
        struct device *dev;
                          ^
                           = NULL
2 warnings generated.

Return the error code directly rather than attempting to call
device_put() with an uninitialized pointer.
