[Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau: fix an error code in nouveau_backlight_init()

If nouveau_get_backlight_name() fails then this should return -ENOMEM
but currently it returns success.

Fixes: db1a0ae21461 ("drm/nouveau/bl: Assign different names to interfaces")

This is from static analysis.  In the original commit db1a0ae21461
("drm/nouveau/bl: Assign different names to interfaces") then returning
zero seemed to be a very deliberate choice.  I do think it was wrong
though and -ENOMEM is the currect return.
