    unregister_chrdev() return void

    unregister_chrdev() does not return meaningful value.  This patch makes it
    return void like most unregister_* functions.

In fact if you look at the code before (from 2.6.12-rc2 onwards) you can see it always returned 0 so this is a function that is always expected to succeed.
