cpu: Do not return errors from cpu_dev_init() which will be ignored
cpu_dev_init() is only called from driver_init(), which does not check its return value. Therefore make cpu_dev_init() return void. We must register the CPU subsystem, so panic if this fails. If sched_create_sysfs_power_savings_entries() fails, the damage is contained, so ignore this (as before).
