Subject: [PATCH v5 03/13] iio: inkern: Check error explicitly in iio_channel_read_max()

The current implementation returns the error code as part of the
default switch case.
This can lead to returning an incorrect positive value in case of
iio_avail_type enum entries evolution.

In order to avoid this case, be more strict in error checking.
