wifi: rtlwifi: fix incorrect error codes in rtl_debugfs_set_write_reg()
[ Upstream commit 5dbe1f8eb8c5ac69394400a5b86fd81775e96c43 ]
If there is a failure during copy_from_user or user-provided data buffer is
invalid, rtl_debugfs_set_write_reg should return negative error code instead
of a positive value count.
Fix this bug by returning correct error code. Moreover, the check of buffer
against null is removed since it will be handled by copy_from_user.
