[PATCH] proc: fix -ESRCH error when writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

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.

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