powerpc/BSR: cleanup the error path of bsr_init
class_create if succeeded returns a pointer to the struct class, and if it fails, it returns a value enclosed by the pointer, which can be read by using PTR_ERR. Handle the error and return it. result is for error checking of the alloc_chrdev_region, instead ret can be used, and also if the alloc_chrdev_region fail, we are still returning -ENODEV, use ret and the error path will take care of returning of the ret.
