ALSA: core: propagate actual error code from register_chrdev

The alsa_sound_init() function currently returns a hardcoded -EIO
if register_chrdev() fails, masking specific error codes from
__register_chrdev() such as -EINVAL, -ENOMEM, or -EBUSY.

Masking these failures under a generic -EIO makes system-level
diagnostics unnecessarily difficult. Propagating explicit error codes
from register_chrdev() is also an established convention widely
practiced across other subsystems.

Fix this by capturing and propagating the dynamic error code from
register_chrdev(). While at it, also assign the return value of
snd_info_init() to the 'err' variable instead of hardcoding -ENOMEM
to ensure consistency and future-proofing.
