Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] mlxsw: spectrum_span: Use a more fitting error code

From: Petr Machata <petrm@...lanox.com>

ENOENT is suitable when an item is looked for in a collection and can't
be found. The failure here is actually a depletion of a resource, where
ENOBUFS is the more fitting error code.
