Subject[PATCH] acpi_power_meter: Don't leak ACPI error codes to userspace
acpi-power-meter: Don't leak ACPI error codes to userspace

If the ACPI methods return an error code, we must return -EINVAL to userspace
to flag the error. Right now we pass the (positive) number right through,
which causes echo to keep writing bogus values.
