Subject: [PATCH] driver core: dd: fix return value of __setup handler

When "driver_async_probe=nulltty" is used on the kernel boot command line,
it causes an Unknown parameter message and the string is added to init's
environment strings, polluting them.

  Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
  driver_async_probe=nulltty", will be passed to user space.

 Run /sbin/init as init process
   with arguments:
     /sbin/init
   with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
     driver_async_probe=nulltty

Change the return value of the __setup function to 1 to indicate
that the __setup option has been handled.

Fixes: 1ea61b68d0f8 ("async: Add cmdline option to specify drivers to be async probed")
