Subject: [PATCH 1/4] platform/x86: wmi: Fix error handling in legacy WMI notify handler functions

When wmi_install_notify_handler()/wmi_remove_notify_handler() are
unable to enable/disable the WMI device, they unconditionally return
an error to the caller.
When registering legacy WMI notify handlers, this means that the
callback remains registered despite wmi_install_notify_handler()
having returned an error.
When removing legacy WMI notify handlers, this means that the
callback is removed despite wmi_remove_notify_handler() having
returned an error.

Fix this by only warning when the WMI device could not be enabled.
This behaviour matches the bus-based WMI interface.

Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505 and a Acer Aspire E1-731.

Fixes: 58f6425eb92f ("WMI: Cater for multiple events with same GUID")
