acpi_gsb_i2c_write_bytes() returns i2c_transfer()'s return value, which

The ACPI code expects us to store 0 in gsb->status for success, not 1.
Specifically this breaks the following code in the Thinkpad 8 DSDT:
ECWR = I2CW = ECWR /* \_SB_.I2C1.BAT0.ECWR */
If ((ECST == Zero))
{
ECRD = I2CR /* \_SB_.I2C1.I2CR */
}
Before this commit we set ECST to 1, causing the read to never happen
breaking battery monitoring on the Thinkpad 8.
This commit makes acpi_gsb_i2c_write_bytes() return 0 when i2c_transfer()
returns 1, so the single write transfer completed successfully, and
makes it return -EIO on for other (unexpected) return values >= 0.
I'm wondering if this might be fallout from one of
35cd67a0caf7 ("i2c: viperboard: return message count on master_xfer success")
de9a8634f1cb ("i2c: pmcmsp: return message count on master_xfer success")
No, these are using the designware driver, so these commits are not
the cause, this simply is a long standing bug.
