We don't need to set FAILED status bit on device index allocation
failure since the device initialization hasn't been started yet.

The commit message should say what the effect of this change is to the
user.  Is this a bugfix?  Will it have any effect on runtime at all?

Thanks for the reminder. Will update the commit message.

To me, hearing your thoughts on this is valuable even if you have to
guess.  "I noticed this mistake during review and I don't think it will
affect runtime."

Yes, that's what I thought.

Thanks,
Yongji
