Re: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/fadump: return 0 on re-registration

When fadump is already registered return success.

Currently EEXIST is returned which is difficult to handle race-free in
userspace when shell scripts are used. If multiple writers are trying
to write '1' there is no difference in whichever succeeds so just
return 0 to all.
