There is invalid error code check of register_chrdev() in megaraid_init().
register_chrdev() returns negative code in case of error,
as a result current code can try to unregister_chrdev() with error code
instead of major that may lead to unregistering somebody else's chardev.
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
