Fix bug in gpio-sysfs interface (export of busy GPIO line leads to export of different GPIO line).

Patch is against 3.0.9
When trying to export GPIO line 37(40) which is already exported/requested by kernel code we got GPIO line 3(4) exported.
Looks like this is done because `export_store` function doesn't return the number of processed bytes and gets a part of previous buffer again.
This fix works for me (Samsung s3c2440).
