[PATCH] vhost: fix VDUSE devices registration

This patch fixes a regression in vhost_driver_register()
causing VDUSE devices registration to fail systematically
because the return value was initialized to -1 and not
changed later on for this type of devices.

Fixes: 4d2aa150769b ("vhost: remove check around mutex init")
