Recent commit e61a41256edf ("cpufreq: dev_pm_qos_update_request() can
return 1 on success") fixed a problem when active policies traverse
was falsely stopped due to invalidly treating the non-zero return value
from freq_qos_update_request() method as an error. Yes, that function
can return positive values if the requested update actually took place.
The current problem is that the returned value is then passed to the
return cell of the cpufreq_boost_set_sw() (set_boost callback) method.
This value is then also analyzed for being non-zero, which is also
treated as having an error. As a result during the boost activation
we'll get an error returned while having the QOS frequency update
successfully performed. Fix this by returning a negative value from the
cpufreq_boost_set_sw() if actual error was encountered and zero
otherwise treating any positive values as the successful operations
completion.
Fixes: 18c49926c4bf ("cpufreq: Add QoS requests for userspace constraints")

IMO it is better to update the caller of this function to handle the
positive value possibly returned by it correctly.
Thanks!
