[PATCH master] nvmem: core: don't fail on positive callback value return

[Ahmad Fatoum]

A sizable number of barebox NVMEM drivers returns a positive value of
number of bytes read on success, while others return 0 unless an error
occurred.

When we used to check for errors with IS_ERR_VALUE, both cases worked,
because it wouldn't evaluate to true for positive numbers. Now with
IS_ERR_VALUE removed, we need to explicitly check for negative values
to determinte errors. Otherwise nvmem_cell_read becomes a death trap
that returns values like (void *)2, which IS_ERR() won't catch and
best case kfree() will crash on.

Fixes: eb05a8e1d2b4 ("nvmem: remove IS_ERR_VALUE abuses")
