[bug report] HID: haptic: initialize haptic device

Hello Angela Czubak,

Commit 344ff3584957 ("HID: haptic: initialize haptic device") from
Aug 18, 2025 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static
checker warning:

	drivers/hid/hid-haptic.c:528 hid_haptic_init()
	warn: missing error code here? '_dev_err()' failed. 'ret' = '0'

Missing error code.  I think we're trying to pump the module count so
this module is unloadable.  That's a discouraged thing so the
__module_get() function has a double underscore.  But here we're kind
of dressing it up so it looks like we're doing a legit module count
bump of a different module that we rely on (instead of THIS_MODULE).  We
should just use __module_get() because it's more honest and remove the
check.

    531                 dev_err(&hdev->dev, "Failed to get hdev device.\n");
    532                 module_put(THIS_MODULE);
    533                 goto input_free;

Missing error code, but get_device() can't really fail here.  Just remove
the check.
