If registering restart handler fails for msm-restart result is not checked.
It may be irrelevant now (as stated in comment to register_restart_handler,
the function currently always returns zero), but if the behavior changes
in the future, an error at registration of handler will be silently skipped.
Add return error code and print error message too debug log in case of
non-zero result of register_restart_handler.

FWIW, checking this return value really do anything good either. The only possible
return value is -EEXIST, which would be returned if the restart handler was already
registered, and that can not really happen. On top of that, _if_ that happened,
the notifier core would dump a warning traceback, making the error message below
unnecessary.
+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "unable to register restart handler, %d\n", ret);

On top of all the above, not registering the poweroff andler in the already
impossible case that the restart handler can not be registered seems like an
excessively bad idea to me.
