[12/15] mtip: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk

Commit Message

Fam Zheng Aug. 17, 2016, 7:15 a.m. UTC

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.
