[PATCH 06/15] genhd: Add return code to device_add_disk

[Fam Zheng]

There are a number of places in device_add_disk that can fail, and even
more to come as we extend it.

Switch the return type of the function, and return the error code when
error happens.

The WARN_ON is kept because callers are not updated to check the error
yet.
