The return code from nvme_add_ns_head_cdev() and nvme_add_ns_cdev() is
never checked, so make those functions return void.

A cdev add failure is tolerated during initialization, and flags
NVME_NS_CDEV_LIVE and NVME_NSHEAD_CDEV_LIVE are for determining whether
a cdev needs to be deleted during un-initialization.
