[PATCH v2 3/5] platform/x86: wmi: Fix probe failure when failing to register WMI devices

When a WMI device besides the first one somehow fails to register, retval
is returned while still containing a negative error code. This causes the
ACPI device failing to probe, leaving behind zombie WMI devices leading
to various errors later.
Fix this by handling the single error path separately and return 0 after
trying to register all WMI devices. Also continue to register WMI devices
even if some fail to allocate.
