x86/ras/mce_amd_inj: Return early on invalid input
Invalid inputs such as these are currently reported in dmesg as failing: $> echo sweet > flags [ 122.079139] flags_write: Invalid flags value: et even though the 'flags' attribute has been updated correctly: $> cat flags sw This is because userspace keeps writing the remaining buffer until it encounters an error. However, the input as a whole is wrong and we should not be writing anything to the file. Therefore, correct flags_write() to return -EINVAL immediately on bad input strings.
