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

From: sunliming <sunliming@...inos.cn>

The writing operation return the count of writes regardless of whether events
are enabled or disabled. Switch it to return 0 to indicates that the event
is disabled.
