[PATCH] md: return 0 instead of error in rdev_attr_show()

From: Michael Wang

sysfs_kf_read() expect the show() callback return the dumped
length, while rdev_attr_show() can return the error which lead
into overflow:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88040b084000

Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP

Call Trace:

[<ffffffff8158bc97>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6a

Simply return 0 in case of error solved the problem.
