This patch remove four calls to dev_err() from sisusb_probe() as
reporting memory allocation failures is redundant:
- Remove a call to dev_err() that was reporting unsuccesful call to
kzalloc().
- Remove two calls to dev_err() that were reporting unsuccesful calls
to kmalloc().
- Remove a call to dev_err() that was reporting unsuccesful call to
kmalloc(), and replace it by code that clean up previously allocated
resources and abort the probe with -ENOMEM. Before this modification
sisusb->SiS_Pr could be dereferenced even it was null.
I think the bug fix should be in its own patch. Don't intermix fixes with
cleanups please.
