tracing: branch: Fix inverted check on stat tracer registration

init_annotated_branch_stats() and all_annotated_branch_stats() check the
return value of register_stat_tracer() with "if (!ret)", but
register_stat_tracer() returns 0 on success and a negative errno on
failure. The inverted check causes the warning to be printed on every
successful registration, e.g.:

  Warning: could not register annotated branches stats

while leaving real failures silent. The initcall also returned a
hard-coded 1 instead of the actual error.

Invert the check and propagate ret so that the warning fires on real
errors and the initcall reports the correct status.
