#1333972 — [PATCH 4.3 021/200] proc: fix -ESRCH error when writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter

4.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

commit 41a0c249cb8706a2efa1ab3d59466b23a27d0c8b upstream.

Writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter always returns -ESRCH because commit
774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()") removed
the setting of ret after the get_proc_task call and incorrectly left it as
-ESRCH.  Instead, return 0 when successful.

Example breakage:

  echo 0 > /proc/self/coredump_filter
  bash: echo: write error: No such process

Fixes: 774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()")
