drivers: uio: Fix UIO device registration failure
Until recently uio_get_minor() returned 0 for success and
a negative value on failure. This became non-negative for suceess and
negative for failure. Restore the original return value spec so that we can
successfully initialize UIO devices with a non-zero minor device
number.
