[PATCH] Staging: rtl8192e: adjust error handling

[Himangi Saraogi]

This patch removes a test in error handling code by adding a return
path.

The Coccinelle semantic match that found the problem is:

// <smpl>
@@
expression E,E1,E2;
@@

E = alloc_etherdev(...)
... when != E = E1
if (...) { ... free_netdev(E); ... return ...; }
... when != E = E2
(
  if (...)
   {
   ... when != free_netdev(E);
   return dev; }
|
* if (...)
   {
   ... when != free_netdev(E);
   return ...; }
|
register_netdev(E)
)

// </smpl>
