Callers don't handle failures. Drivers are not permitted to fail
destroy, if they do it probably will trigger a WARN_ON.

You can make some of an argument to allow failing destroy for user
objects only, but not like this in general for kernel objects.

If your FW fails destroying a kernel object then the device is busted,
you should reset it and succeed to destroy the kernel object anyhow.
