ACPI / APEI: Fix the returned value in erst_dbg_read
If the persistent store is empty initially, the function 'erst_dbg_read' returns a nonzero value. The better way is to return a zero indicating the read operation reaches EOF. Tested on two different servers. Signed-off-by: Adrian Huang <adrian.huang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
