[PATCH v2 1/4] media: hi846: fix hi846_write_reg_16 handling

hi846_write_reg_16() does not clear a positive *err value on success.
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() returns a positive value when the device
is already in use. When hi846_set_ctrl() passes &ret holding this
positive value) to hi846_write_reg_16(), the function returns with ret
as is, the positive value propagates back as a return code, which
callers interpret as an error.

Fix this by resetting *err to 0 only when it is positive.
