Initialize 'rc' with the expected error code before using it.

I would prefer:

"In cxl_add_chardev(), if the call to device_create() fails, we print the error message before 'rc' is set correctly, and therefore always print 0. Move the error message after setting 'rc'."


While at it, avoid the affectation of 'rc' in a 'if' to make things more
obvious and linux style.

I strongly agree with this, some of the other cxl developers don't but they are wrong :)
