[PATCH v2 1/2] wwan: core: Avoid returning NULL from wwan_create_dev()

[Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>]

Make wwan_create_dev() to return either valid or error pointer,
In some cases it may return NULL. Prevent this by converting
it to the respective error pointer.

Fixes: 9a44c1cc6388 ("net: Add a WWAN subsystem")
