The snippet of code you copied the comment from actually kept the
original error instead of overriding it to be -EINVAL as is done here.

The code may be ok, since a sum domain may be specified to report
"Unavailable" in scenario where the domain it is trying to include in
sum returns "Error". It may be simplest to just drop the
"But newly created ... " sentence and have last sentence be:
	Report success if a read from any domain succeeds, -EINVAL
	(translated to "Unavailable" for user space) if reading from
	all domains fail for any reason.
