[PATCH 3/8] char: xillybus: Return error in fops read method handler

[Eli Billauer <eli.billauer@gmail.com>]

Be sure to return an error status from the driver's read fops method when
the USB device is unplugged or a hardware error occurs, and all available
data has been delivered.

Before this patch, the return value was zero in this case, meaning EOF,
which didn't expose the reason for ending the data stream.

The existing memory barrier smp_rmb(), together with the assignment of
xdev->error in report_io_error() with a spinlock taken, ensure that
xdev->error has its updated value when the hereby corrected assignment
takes place.
