Previously after device_add_disk returns, the KOBJ_ADD uevent is already
emitted. Adding attributes after that is a poor usage of kobject, and
in practice may result in race conditions with userspace, for
example udev checks availability of certain attributes and initializes
/dev entries conditionally.

device_add_disk can handle adding attribute group better, so use it.
Meanwhile, update the error check code and message.

I like the previous "Error creating sysfs group for device" string better,
than "Error creating disk", because the latter one is much less informative.

do you want to do something like below?

int device_add_disk(struct device *parent, struct gendisk *disk,
...
       if (attr_group) {
               retval = sysfs_create_group(&disk_to_dev(disk)->kobj,
                                           attr_group);

+		pr_err("Error creating sysfs group for device ...\n", ...);

               if (retval)
                       goto fail;
       }

d'oh... a typo. pr_err() is meant to be in `if (retval)' branch.
