Actually, there's currently no way for scsi_adjust_queue_depth to fail,
so the check really isn't necessary.

Also, even if it were, the correct return would be either -EINVAL, or
the true nature of the error (most likely -ENOMEM).

The idea of the error return is more for drivers that have to allocate
internal resources to tag queues, so they can fail in those allocations.
