In smcd_alloc_dev(), if alloc_ordered_workqueue() fails, properly catch it, clean up and return NULL to let the caller know there was a failure. Move the call to alloc_ordered_workqueue higher in the function in order to abort earlier without needing to unwind the call to device_initialize().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
