[PATCH 201/510] staging: vme_user: return the appropriate error code when module_init fails

From: Emilio G. Cota <cota@xxxxxxxxx>

When init_module fails, 0 is returned anyway; the module is then installed
and oopses when we try to remove it:

The appended fixes it by returning the appropriate error code in module_init
whenever something goes wrong, thus cancelling the insertion of the module.
