The comment lurking above this is now stale.

Returning an error code is unnecessary if unregister_dev() destroys the bus.
Nothing ultimately consumes the result, e.g. kvm_vm_ioctl_unregister_coalesced_mmio()
intentionally ignores the result other than to bail from the loop, and destroying
the bus means it will immediately bail from the loop anyways.

Unless I'm misreading things, this path leaks "bus".

Given that that intent is to send the fix for stable, that this is as much a
cleanup as it is a bug fix, and that it's not super trivial, I'm inclined to queue
my patch and then land this on top as cleanup.
