I got a null-ptr-deref report when doing fault injection test:

If dev_set_name() fails, dev_name() is null, it causes null-ptr-deref,
we need check the return value of dev_set_name().

As the checkpatch warning indicates, registering the character device as
always been optional. d5ed9177f64fe95d9de79e6504d41612d9127e8a is the
commit you want to fix.
