Subject: [PATCH 3.18 44/50] Disable kgdboc failed by echo space to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

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

------------------

From: Wentao Wang <witallwang@...il.com>

commit 3ec8002951ea173e24b466df1ea98c56b7920e63 upstream.

Echo "" to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc will fail with "No such
device” error.

This is caused by function "configure_kgdboc" who init err to ENODEV
when the config is empty (legal input) the code go out with ENODEV
returned.

Fixes: 2dd453168643 ("kgdboc: Fix restrict error")
