dtlk: fix error checks in module_init()

This patch fixes two things in module_init.

- fix register_chrdev() error check

  Currently dtlk doesn't check register_chrdev() failure correctly.
  register_chrdev() returns a errno on failure.

- check probe failure

  dtlk ignores probe failure and allows the module loading without
  such device. I got "Trying to free nonexistent resource" message
  by release_region() when unloading module without device.
