* [PATCH 3/3] scsi: myrs: prevent negatives in disable_enclosure_messages_store()

We only want the value to be zero or one.

It's not a big deal, but say we passed set value to INT_MIN, then
disable_enclosure_messages_show() would return that 12 bytes of "buf"
are initialized but actually only 3 are.  I think there are tools like
KASAN which will trigger an info leak warning when that happens.

Fixes: 77266186397c ("scsi: myrs: Add Mylex RAID controller (SCSI interface)")

It's not actually clear to me why we allow 2.  Shouldn't we just use
kstrtobool()?
