HID: nintendo: check the return value of alloc_workqueue()
[ Upstream commit fe23b6bbeac40de957724b90a88d46fb336e29a9 ]
The function alloc_workqueue() in nintendo_hid_probe() can fail, but
there is no check of its return value. To fix this bug, its return value
should be checked with new error handling code.
