iio: buffer: return 0 for buffer getfd ioctl handler
As Lars pointed out, we could either return the FD vs memcpy-ing it to the userspace data object. However, this comment exposed a bug. We should return 0 or negative from these ioctl() handlers. Because an ioctl() handler can also return IIO_IOCTL_UNHANDLED (which is positive 1), which means that the ioctl() handler doesn't support this ioctl number. Positive 1 could also be a valid FD number in some corner cases. The reason we did this is to be able to differentiate between an error code and an unsupported ioctl number; for unsupported ioctl numbers, the main loop should keep going. Maybe we should change this to a higher negative number, to avoid such cases when/if we add more ioctl() handlers.
