Subject: [PATCH] regmap: Fix 'ret' would return an uninitialized value

- Fix 'ret' would return an uninitialized value.
- Add a warning avoid invalid 'num_regs' value passed in.

When the num_regs parameter is zero and krealloc doesn't fail,
then the code would return an uninitialized value. However,
calling this function with num_regs == 0, would be a waste as it
essentially does nothing.
