Subject: [PATCH] mkiss: Fix error handling in mkiss_open()

If register_netdev() fails we are not propagating the error and
we return success because ax_open() succeeded previously.

Fix this by checking the return value of ax_open() and 
register_netdev() and propagate the error in case of failure.
