[PATCH] testing for probe errors in pci-driver.c

Currently if __pci_device_probe locates the correct
device driver, but receives an error from the static
drv->probe function, this error is not reported.

The attached patch reports the above error condition
to the caller.  Only when a match for the device in
the static tables is not found, is the dynamic driver 
table searched.
