In the paprport_proc_register there is the same logic where we do not
return error code on error. Additionally, noone checks the return values
of parport_proc_register nor parport_device_proc_register. Should we
just change these to void and be done with it? Or is it better to change
parport/share.c to take care of the error codes?

I realized this after some comments from 0-day.
