[PATCH 02/15] genhd: Return error from register_disk()

[Fam Zheng <famz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Several operations in register_disk can fail, but the caller currently
cannot check for error due to missing return code. Change the function
return type and return -errno if any error happens.

Also add some documentation.
