[PATCH] cxl: Don't ignore add_process_element result when attaching context

Previously, when attaching a context in dedicated mode, we ignored
the result of add_process_element, which could potentially fail.

If add_process_element returns and error, pass it back to the caller.

I'm not sure if this is worth sending to stable: it doesn't fix
any actual bug, it just lets us know earlier if we've failed.

However, if mpe, Mikey or Ian feel like it should go to stable I
have no objection to that either.
