[PATCH][next] platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: fix unsigned variable compared to less than zero

From: Colin Ian King The check for ret < 0 is always false because ret is a (unsigned) size_t and not a (signed) ssize_t, hence simple_write_to_buffer failures are never detected. Fix this by making ret a ssize_t Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0") Fixes: 8074a79fad2e
