bpf: Restore sysctl new-value from 1 to 0
Commit 4e63acdff864 ("bpf: Introduce bpf_sysctl_{get,set}_new_value
helpers") changed the success return value to 0, but failed to update the
corresponding check in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl(). Since
bpf_prog_run_array_cg() now returns 0 on success, the legacy ret == 1
condition is never satisfied. As a result, the modified value is ignored,
and bpf_sysctl_set_new_value() fails to replace the write buffer.
Fix this by checking for a return value of 0 instead, so cgroup/sysctl
programs can correctly replace the pending sysctl buffer.
This bug was discovered during a manual code review. Tested via a
cgroup/sysctl BPF reproducer overriding writes to a target sysctl.
Pre-fix, bpf_sysctl_set_new_value("foo") was silently ignored: the write
returned 8192 and the value remained "600". Post-fix, the BPF replacement
buffer properly propagates: the write returns 3 and the value updates to
"foo".
Fixes: f10d05966196 ("bpf: Make BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY return -err instead of allow boolean")
