[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: fix wrong error number report

During driver load it's considered that the i915_driver_create()
function fails only in case of insufficient memory. Indeed, in
case of failure of i915_driver_create(), the load function
returns indiscriminately -ENOMEM ignoring the real cause of
failure.

In i915_driver_create() get the consistent error value from
drm_dev_init() and embed it in the pointer return value.

Hi,

I did forget in the version 1 to return -ENOMEM in case of
kzalloc failure. Thanks Chris!
