Subject: [PATCH 3.12 035/119] ACPI / sysfs: fix error code in get_status()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit f18ebc211e259d4f591e39e74b2aa2de226c9a1d upstream.

The problem with ornamental, do-nothing gotos is that they lead to
"forgot to set the error code" bugs.  We should be returning -EINVAL
here but we don't.  It leads to an uninitalized variable in
counter_show():

    drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:603 counter_show()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.

Fixes: 1c8fce27e275 (ACPI: introduce drivers/acpi/sysfs.c)
