Currently when the call to sysfs_create_link fails the error exit
path returns an uninitialized value in variable ret. Fix this by
returning the error code returned from the failed call to
sysfs_create_link.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 32fd90c40768 ("nvme: change locking for the per-subsystem controller list")
