    nvme-hwmon: consistently ignore errors from nvme_hwmon_init
    
    [ Upstream commit 6b8cf94005187952f794c0c4ed3920a1e8accfa3 ]
    
    An NVMe controller works perfectly fine even when the hwmon
    initialization fails.  Stop returning errors that do not come from a
    controller reset from nvme_hwmon_init to handle this case consistently.
