Subject: staging: wlan-ng: ensure error return is actually returned

Currently when the call to prism2sta_ifst fails a netdev_err error is reported, error return variable result is set to -1 but the function always returns 0 for success. Fix this by returning the error value in variable result rather than 0.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")

Fixes 00b3ed168508 ("Staging: add wlan-ng prism2 usb driver")
