[PATCH v1 1/1] ACPI: property: Fix return value for nval == 0 in acpi_data_prop_read()

[Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>]

While analysing code for software and OF node for the corner case when
caller asks to read zero items in the supposed to be an array of values
I found that ACPI behaves differently to what OF does, i.e.

1. It returns -EINVAL when caller asks to read zero items from integer
array, while OF returns 0, if no other errors happened.

2. It returns -EINVAL when caller asks to read zero items from string
array, while OF returns -ENODATA, if no other errors happened.

Amend ACPI implementation to follow what OF does.
