RAS/CEC: Fix pfn insertion

When inserting random PFNs for debugging the CEC through
(debugfs)/ras/cec/pfn, depending on the return value of pfn_set(),
multiple values get inserted per a single write.

That is because simple_attr_write() interprets a retval of 0 as
success and claims the whole input. However, pfn_set() returns the
cec_add_elem() value, which, if > 0 and smaller than the whole input
length, makes glibc continue issuing the write syscall until there's
input left:

  pfn_set
  simple_attr_write
  debugfs_attr_write
  full_proxy_write
  vfs_write
  ksys_write
  do_syscall_64
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

leading to those repeated calls.

Return 0 to fix that.
