I don't know if it's helpful to have is_opal_supported able to return
errno if we're just going to ignore the error. Maybe change that to
check_opal_support, which has less true/false connotation, and can
return 0 for success and positive if we need it for any unknowns.

Then do:
        if (check_opal_support(..) < 0)
                cleanup...

I might get some pushback since it's only two lines, but I'd say move the two
lines above into a free_opal_dev to match the alloc_opal_dev. Also if there's
any more de-initialization we need to do in the future (opal buffers, etc),
then the free_opal_dev() will be ready for it.
