[PATCH 25/61] sysfs: fix error handling in binattr write()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>]

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

Error handling in fs/sysfs/bin.c:write() was wrong because size_t
count is used to receive return value from flush_write() which is
negative on failure.

This patch updates write() such that int variable is used instead.
read() is updated the same way for consistency.
