[ Upstream commit 989a1db06eb18ff605377eec87e18d795e0ec74b ]

I got a warining report:

br_sysfs_addbr: can't create group bridge4/bridge
------------[ cut here ]------------
sysfs group 'bridge' not found for kobject 'bridge4'

In br_device_event(), if the bridge sysfs fails to be added,
br_device_event() should return error. This can prevent warining
when removing bridge sysfs that do not exist.
