[PATCH v3 3/3] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: return -E2BIG from validate_password_input()

[Muhammad Bilal <meatuni001@gmail.com>]

validate_password_input() returns the positive INVALID_BIOS_AUTH on
rejection. store_password_instance() skips the store on nonzero ret,
but its final "return ret < 0 ? ret : count" treats the positive value
as success, so userspace sees count instead of an error.

Return -E2BIG for an invalid password length.

Tested on HP EliteBook 840 G2 (Fedora 44, Linux 7.2.7): writing 999
bytes to current_password returned 999 before this change.
