PATCH 1/1 skge: return 0 on success from SkGeChangeMtu

The SKGE driver needs to return 0 from SkGeChangeMtu() on success.

---
The proper sucessful return code for the change_mtu() method is zero. For some reason, SkGeChangeMtu() is returning the new mtu value instead. The comments would seem to indicate past problems, but the current correct behaviour is clear.
