Subject: [PATCH 5.9 331/391] net/sunrpc: Fix return value for sysctl sunrpc.transports

From: Artur Molchanov <arturmolchanov@...il.com>

commit c09f56b8f68d4d536bff518227aea323b835b2ce upstream.

Fix returning value for sysctl sunrpc.transports.
Return error code from sysctl proc_handler function proc_do_xprt instead of number of the written bytes.
Otherwise sysctl returns random garbage for this key.

Since v1:
- Handle negative returned value from memory_read_from_buffer as an error
