[PATCH v2] net/enic: check notify set return value during init

The return value of vnic_dev_notify_set() is silently ignored in
enic_dev_init(), so a memory allocation failure or hardware command
error goes unnoticed and the driver continues with uninitialized
notification state.
Check the return value and propagate the error to abort probe when
notification setup fails.
Fixes: fefed3d1e62c ("enic: new driver")
