[PATCH] common/mlx5: fix probing return value when failing

[PATCH] common/mlx5: fix probing return value when failing

[Bing Zhao]

While probing the device with unsupported class, the process should
fail because no appropriate driver was found. After traversing all
the drivers, an error value should be returned for the case.

In the previous implementation, zero value indicating probing success
was wrongly returned.
