[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: kmemleak: change error at _write when kmemleak is disabled

[Andrà Almeida]

According to POSIX, EBUSY means that the "device or resource is busy",
and this can lead to people thinking that the file
`/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak/` is somehow locked or being used by other
process. Change this error code to a more appropriate one.

Hello,

This time I've added the mailing list, not only the maintainers.

Changes in v2:
- Remove pr_error.
- Replace EINVAL for EPERM, since the command isn't invalid, in fact, the
user don't have the permission to trigger commands when kmemleak is
disabled.
- Reword the commit message to be clearer the rationale behind the
patch.
