[PATCH] I2O: more error checking

i2o_scsi: handle sysfs failure

i2o_device:
 * convert i2o_device_add() to return integer error code
   rather than pointer.  Fortunately -nobody- checks the return code of
   this function, so changing has nil impact.
 * handle errors thrown by device_register()

More work in i2o_device remains.
