[PATCH 1/3] hwmon: (dell-smm) Fail probing when cooling device registration fails

[Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>]

Previously, it was thought that failing to register a cooling device
would not be critical, so the probing was not aborted in such a case.
This however would lead to userspace being unable to rely on those
cooling devices, since they might not represent all fans being present.
Fix that by failing probing when cooling device registration fails.

Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.
