Subject: [PATCH] md: return 0 instead of error in rdev_attr_show()


sysfs_kf_read() expect the show() callback return the dumped
length, while rdev_attr_show() can return the error which lead
into overflow:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88040b084000
 IP: [<ffffffff812fe8f4>] __memmove+0x24/0x1a0
 PGD 1edb067 PUD 1ede067 PMD 406b9a063 PTE 800000040b084161
 Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP 
 [snip]
 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff81208c30>] ? sysfs_kf_read+0x80/0xb0
  [<ffffffff81207e0b>] kernfs_fop_read+0xab/0x160
  [<ffffffff81190be8>] __vfs_read+0x28/0xd0
  [<ffffffff811911f6>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
  [<ffffffff81191fa6>] SyS_read+0x46/0xa0
  [<ffffffff8158bc97>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6a

Simply return 0 in case of error solved the problem.
