Subject: [PATCH v4] cachefiles: fix error return code in cachefiles_ondemand_copen()

The cache_size field of copen is specified by the user daemon.
If cache_size < 0, then the OPEN request is expected to fail,
while copen itself shall succeed. However, returning 0 is indeed
unexpected when cache_size is an invalid error code.

Fix this by returning error when cache_size is an invalid error code.
