Subject: [PATCH -mm] nilfs2: fix improper return values of nilfs_get_cpinfo ioctl

A few tool developers gave me requests for fixing inconvenient return
value of nilfs_get_cpinfo() ioctl; if the requested mode is
NILFS_SNAPSHOT and the specified start entry is not a snapshot, the
ioctl unnaturally returns one as the number of acquired snapshot item.

In addition, the ioctl function returns an ENOENT error for
checkpoints within blocks deleted by garbage collection.

These behaviors require corrections for programs which enumerate
snapshots.  This resolves the inconvenience by changing the return
values to zero for the above cases.
