In tpacpi_battery_init(), the return value of tpacpi_check_quirks() needs
to be checked. The battery should not be hooked if there is no matched
battery information in quirk table.

Add an error check and return -ENODEV immediately if the device fail
the check.

Why is this the case? What problem is this fixing?

It seems only a few devices are listed in battery_quirk_table, and the
comment above it suggests it is just a fixup:

	/*
	 * Individual addressing is broken on models that expose the
	 * primary battery as BAT1.
	 */

Furthermore, I looked at uses of this quirk in the code and it's absence
doesn't seem critical.

I bring this up because it has the potential to cause a regression on a
lot of devices.
