net/mlx5e: Fix return value in case of module EEPROM read error
[ Upstream commit d1c94bc5b90c21b65469d30d4a6bc8ed715c1bfe ]
mlx5e_get_module_eeprom_by_page() has weird error handling.
First, it is treating -EINVAL as a special case, but it is unclear why.
Second, it tries to fail "gracefully" by returning the number of bytes
read even in case of an error. This results in wrongly returning
success (0 return value) if the error occurs before any bytes were
read.
Simplify the error handling by returning an error when such occurs. This
also aligns with the error handling we have in mlx5e_get_module_eeprom()
for the old API.
This fixes the following case where the query fails, but userspace
ethtool wrongly treats it as success and dumps an output:
# ethtool -m eth2
netlink warning: mlx5_core: Query module eeprom by page failed, read 0 bytes, err -5
netlink warning: mlx5_core: Query module eeprom by page failed, read 0 bytes, err -5
