Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.18 058/159] scsi: megaraid: Fix error check return value of register_chrdev()

From: Lv Ruyi <lv.ruyi@....com.cn>

[ Upstream commit c5acd61dbb32b6bda0f3a354108f2b8dcb788985 ]

If major equals 0, register_chrdev() returns an error code when it fails.
This function dynamically allocates a major and returns its number on
success, so we should use "< 0" to check it instead of "!".
