gpiolib: fix device_create() result check

Browse source 
In case of failure, device_create() returns not NULL but the error code.
The current code checks for non-NULL though which causes kernel oops in
sysfs_create_group() when device_create() fails.  Check for error using
IS_ERR() and propagate the error value using PTR_ERR() instead of fixed
-ENODEV code returned now...
