ath6kl_usb_init() does not check usb_register() return value.
As a result it may incorrectly report success of driver initialization.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Thanks, applied to ath6kl.git. But I changed the title to use "ath6kl:"
and made some cosmetic changes to the code.
