[PATCH v1] PM: QoS: Fix misc device registration unwind

[PATCH v1] PM: QoS: Fix misc device registration unwind

[Yuho Choi]

cpu_latency_qos_init() registers cpu_dma_latency first and, when
CONFIG_PM_QOS_CPU_SYSTEM_WAKEUP is enabled, registers cpu_wakeup_latency
afterwards. The second registration overwrites the first return value.

As a result, a failure to register cpu_dma_latency can be masked if the
second registration succeeds. Conversely, if cpu_dma_latency succeeds and
cpu_wakeup_latency fails, the function returns an error while leaving the
first misc device registered.

Return immediately on the first registration failure and deregister
cpu_dma_latency if the second registration fails.

Fixes: a4e6512a79d8 ("PM: QoS: Introduce a CPU system wakeup QoS limit")

Applied as 7.2 material, thanks!
