Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tracing/user_events: Fix incorrect return value for writing operation when events are disabled

The writing operation return the count of writes whether events are
enabled or disabled. This is incorrect when events are disabled. Fix
this by just return -EFAULT when events are disabled.
