Subject: [PATCH 2/4] w1: only send_error when there is an error

Otherwise there's an extra reply being sent out for each async
message.  Some commands such as W1_CMD_LIST_SLAVES will be identical
except one message has data and the other doesn't making it difficult
for a program to know if all the slaves just vanished or what happened.
