dtlk: fix error checks in module_init()
This patch fixes two things in module_init. - fix register_chrdev() error check Currently dtlk doesn't check register_chrdev() failure correctly. register_chrdev() returns a errno on failure. - check probe failure dtlk ignores probe failure and allows the module loading without such device. I got "Trying to free nonexistent resource" message by release_region() when unloading module without device.
