Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] platform/x86: asus_wmi: Fix return value of fan_boost_mode_store

Function fan_boost_mode_store should return number of bytes written
but instead it returns return value of kstrtou8 which is 0 if
conversion is succefull. This leads to infinite loop after any
write to it's SysFS entry.
