Subject: cgroup: fix error return value from cgroup_subtree_control()

From: Tejun Heo <[email protected]>

commit 3c74541777302eec43a0d1327c4d58b8659a776b upstream.

While refactoring, f7b2814bb9b6 ("cgroup: factor out cgroup_{apply|finalize}_control() from cgroup_subtree_control_write()") broke error return value from the function. The return value from the last operation is always overridden to zero. Fix it.
