ppdev: ppdev_init: do not return zero in case of failure
Error handling of parport_register_driver() in ppdev_init() is broken because it deallocates all resources but still returns zero. Currently parport_register_driver() always succeeds. Nevertheless it is worth to fix the issue. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
