Subject: [PATCH] nfit: fail DSMs that return non-zero status by default

For the DSMs where the kernel knows the format of the output buffer and
originates those DSMs from within the kernel, return -EIO for any
non-zero status.  If the BIOS is indicating a status that we do not know
how to handle, fail the DSM.
