cycle_kernel_lock() was added with the BKL pushdown. The rio driver
indeed needs that because riowd_device is initialized after
misc_register(). So an open(), write/ioctl() which happens to get
between misc_register returning and riowd_device initialization would
dereference a NULL pointer.
Move riowd_device initialization before misc_register() and get rid of
cycle_kernel_lock().

After sucessfully registering the misc device the driver iounmaps the
hardware registers and kfree's the device data structure. Ouch !
This was introduced with commit e42311d75 (riowatchdog: Convert to
pure OF driver) and went unnoticed for more than a year :)
Return success instead of dropping into the error cleanup code path.
