ftrace: Have ftrace_regex_write() return either read or error
As ftrace_regex_write() reads the result of ftrace_process_regex() which can sometimes return a positive number, only consider a failure if the return is negative. Otherwise, it will skip possible other registered probes and by returning a positive number that wasn't read, it will confuse the user processes doing the writing.
