Subject: [PATCH] wireless: rtlwifi: fix incorrect error codes in rtl_debugfs_set_write_rfreg()

If there is a failure during copy_from_user or user-provided data buffer
is invalid, rtl_debugfs_set_write_rfreg should return negative error code
instead of a positive value count.

Fix this bug by returning correct error code. Moreover, the check of buffer
against null is removed since it will be handled by copy_from_user.
