[ Upstream commit b82d71c0f84a2e5ccaaa7571dfd5c69e0e2cfb4a ]
During the process of driver probing, probe function should return < 0
for failure, otherwise kernel will treat value == 0 as success.
Therefore, we should set err to -EINVAL when
adapter->registered_device_map is NULL. Otherwise kernel will assume
that driver has been successfully probed and will cause unexpected
errors.
