fix: treat chdev execution failures as module errors in aix_devices (#12185)
* fix: treat chdev execution failures as module errors in aix_devices

##### SUMMARY
Fix the aix_devices module so that a failed chdev command is reported as a module failure instead of a successful result.

The previous implementation called fail_json incorrectly by returning success through the normal completion path when chdev returned a non-zero exit status. This could allow a playbook to continue even though the requested device attribute change was not applied.

This change replaces the success-style error handling with proper failure handling in the chdev execution path, making task results consistent with the actual command outcome.

##### ISSUE TYPE
- Bugfix Pull Request

##### COMPONENT NAME
aix_devices

##### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The affected code path is in change_device_attr() when the module executes chdev to apply attribute updates.

Before this change:
- chdev could fail
- the module could still report success
- later tasks could run against an unexpected system state

After this change:
- chdev failures are returned through fail_json
- the task stops with an error
- playbook behavior matches the real execution result

```paste below
Before:
module.exit_json(msg="Failed to run chdev.", rc=rc, err=err)

After:
module.fail_json(msg="Failed to run chdev.", rc=rc, err=err)
```

* Add changelog fragment for aix_devices chdev failure fix (#12185)
