bridge: Fix incorrect variable assignment on error path in br_sysfs_addbr
This fixes the incorrect variable assignment on error path in br_sysfs_addbr for when the call to kobject_create_and_add fails to assign the value of -EINVAL to the returned variable of err rather then incorrectly return zero making callers think this function has succeededed due to the previous assignment being assigned zero when assigning it the successful return value of the call to sysfs_create_group which is zero.
