Fixes the following smatch warning:

drivers/scsi/ips.c:6901 ips_init_phase1() warn: returning -1 instead of
-ENOMEM is sloppy.

Reported-by: Abaci Robot <abaci@linux.alibaba.com>
Fixes: dd00cc486ab1 ("some kmalloc/memset ->kzalloc (tree wide)")

Really, like megaraid, it's not.  ips_init_phase1() returns either
Success or -1.  If it returns -1, that gets translated to -ENODEV so,
again, we'd lose this nuanced return completely.
