Subject: [PATCH net-next] virtio_net: Fix error code in
 __virtnet_get_hw_stats()

The virtnet_send_command_reply() function returns true on success or
false on failure.  The "ok" variable is true/false depending on whether
it succeeds or not.  It's up to the caller to translate the true/false
into -EINVAL on failure or zero for success.

The bug is that __virtnet_get_hw_stats() returns false for both
errors and success.  It's not a bug, but it is confusing that the caller
virtnet_get_hw_stats() uses an "ok" variable to store negative error
codes.

Fix the bug and clean things up so that it's clear that
__virtnet_get_hw_stats() returns zero on success or negative error codes
on failure.

Fixes: 941168f8b40e ("virtio_net: support device stats")
