platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: always propagate error codes from device attributes' show() callback
Consumers can differentiate an error from a successful read much more easily if the read() call fails with an appropriate errno instead of returning a magic string like "-1". This introduces an ABI change, but not many users are expected to be relying on the previous behavior, and this change makes this module conforming to the standard behavior that sysfs attribute show/store callbacks return an appropriate errno in case of failure. Thus the ABI breakage is deemed justified.
