PM / devfreq: Fix static checker warning in try_then_request_governor
The patch 23c7b54ca1cd: "PM / devfreq: Fix devfreq_add_device() when drivers are built as modules." leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1043 governor_store() warn: 'governor' can also be NULL The reason is that the try_then_request_governor() function returns both error pointers and NULL. It should just return error pointers, so fix this by returning a ERR_PTR to the error intead of returning NULL. Fixes: 23c7b54ca1cd ("PM / devfreq: Fix devfreq_add_device() when drivers are built as modules.")
