[PATCH 09/18] HID: Return an error code only as a constant in hid_allocate_device()

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 19:17:36 +0100

* Return an error code without storing it in an intermediate variable.

* Delete the local variable "ret" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
