Subject: drm/nouveau/device: return error for unknown chipsets

From: Karol Herbst <kherbst at redhat.com>

commit c3e0276c31ca8c7b8615da890727481260d4676f upstream.

Previously the code relied on device->pri to be NULL and to fail probing
later. We really should just return an error inside nvkm_device_ctor for
unsupported GPUs.

Fixes: 24d5ff40a732 ("drm/nouveau/device: rework mmio mapping code to get rid of second map")
