From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

When encountering an error while executing the driver's ->add method, we
should cancel registration and unwind what we've regged so far. The low
level ->add methods do return proper error codes but those aren't looked
at in sysdev_driver_register(). Fix that by sharing the unregistering
code.
