[PATCH] sysfs: cosmetic clean up on node creation failure paths

[Tejun Heo]

Node addition failure is detected by testing return value of
sysfs_addfm_finish() which returns the number of added and removed
nodes.  As the function is called as the last step of addition right
on top of error handling block, the if blocks looked like the
following.

	if (sysfs_addrm_finish(&acxt))
		success handling, usually return;
	/* fall through to error handling */

This is the opposite of usual convention in sysfs and makes the code
difficult to understand.  This patch inverts the test and makes those
blocks look more like others.
