In the comment on top of lpfc_sli_hbq_setup() and of its caller which
transmits this error, lpfc_sli_hba_setup(), it is stated that the
function should return a negative error code.

This is innoculous as the code really only cares whether it's zero or 
non-zero. But, there's no harm in being consistent.
