Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/damon/core: Fix return value from damos_wmark_metric_value

From: Alex Rusuf <yorha.op@...il.com>

damos_wmark_metric_value's return value is 'unsigned long', so
returning -EINVAL as 'unsigned long' may turn out to be
very different from the expected one (using 2's complement) and
treat as usual matric's value. So, fix that, checking if
returned value is not 0.
