Hmm, this is a cleanup, not a fix—just a very minor change to an error
log/print. I noticed it was duplicated (with the alloc_chrdev_region
error print), which made it impossible to tell which function call had
failed (it might actually never be executed). So I just brought up this
cleanup along the way.
