Subject: [PATCH] libfs: fix implicitly cast in simple_attr_write_xsigned()

Return 0 to indicate failure and return "len" to indicate success.
It was hard to distinguish success or failure if "len" equals the error
code after the implicit cast.
Moreover, eliminating implicit cast is a better practice.
