Make sysfs_remove_bin_file() void. If it detects an error,
printk the file name and call dump_stack().
sysfs_hash_and_remove() now returns an error code indicating
its success or failure so that sysfs_remove_bin_file() can
know success/failure.
Convert the only driver that checked the return value of
sysfs_remove_bin_file().
