Albeit not prohibited explicitly, re-registering sub-devices generated a
big, loud warning which quite likely soon was followed by a crash. What
followed was re-initialising a media entity, driver's registered() callback
being called and re-adding a list entry to a list.

Prevent this by returning an error if a sub-device is already registered.

[mchehab@s-opensource.com: reorder logic to check if !sd before dereferencing it]
