Subject: [PATCH] usb: usbtmc: Fix read_stb function and get_stb ioctl

The usbtmc488_ioctl_read_stb function relied on a positive return from usbtmc_get_stb to reset the srq condition in the driver. The USBTMC_IOCTL_GET_STB case tested for a positive return to return the stb to the user.

Commit: <cac01bd178d6> ("usb: usbtmc: Fix erroneous get_stb ioctl error returns") changed the return value of usbtmc_get_stb to 0 on success instead of returning the value of usb_control_msg which is positive in the normal case. This change caused the function usbtmc488_ioctl_read_stb and the USBTMC_IOCTL_GET_STB ioctl to no longer function correctly.

Change the test in usbtmc488_ioctl_read_stb to test for failure first and return the failure code immediately.
Change the test for the USBTMC_IOCTL_GET_STB ioctl to test for 0 instead of a positive value.

Fixes cac01bd178d6 ("usb: usbtmc: Fix erroneous get_stb ioctl error returns")
