Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] cpufreq: fix the return value in 'cpufreq_boost_set_sw()'

When I try to add SW BOOST support for CPPC, I got the following error:
cpufreq: cpufreq_boost_trigger_state: Cannot enable BOOST
cpufreq: store_boost: Cannot enable BOOST!

It is because return value 1 of 'freq_qos_update_request()' means the
effective constraint value has changed, not a error code on failures.
But for 'cpufreq_driver.set_boost()', a nonzero return value means
failure. So change 'ret' to zero when 'freq_qos_update_request()'
returns a positive value.
