[PATCH 2/2] acpi/einj: Make error paths more talkative

[Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

It is absolutely unfriendly when one sees this:

  # modprobe einj
  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'einj': No such device

without anything in dmesg to tell one why the load failed.

Beef up the error handling of the init function to be more user-friendly
when the load fails.
