From: Andi Kleen <andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4e318d7c6c9dd5cdae48bcf61558bbc0c09b12ac upstream

SYSFS: Fix return values for sysdev_store_{ulong,int}

Always return the full size instead of the consumed
length of the string in sysdev_store_{ulong,int}

This avoids EINVAL errors in some echo versions.
