Driver core: Don't ignore error returns from probing
This patch (as797) fixes device_add() in the driver core. It needs to pay attention when the driver for a new device reports an error. At the same time, since bus_remove_device() undoes the effects of both bus_add_device() and bus_attach_device(), it needs to check whether the bus_attach_device step failed.
