If cdev_add() returns an error, the code calls
cdev_del() passing the STm->cdevs[rew] pointer as parameter;
the problem is that the pointer has not been initialized yet.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the STm->cdevs[rew] pointer
initialization before the call to cdev_add().
It also sets STm->devs[rew] and STm->cdevs[rew] to NULL in
case of failure.
