Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Yeah, these are marginal at best and one may be able to argue that
emitting a message with device identifier is still useful but these
allocations are order-zero and can't fail to begin with, so...

Thanks.

IIRC device core prints a warn with error code and device name if
->probe() fails.
