x86/ras/mce_amd_inj: Return early on invalid input
Invalid inputs such as these are currently reported in dmesg as
failing:
$> echo sweet > flags
[ 122.079139] flags_write: Invalid flags value: et
even though the 'flags' attribute has been updated correctly:
$> cat flags
sw
This is because userspace keeps writing the remaining buffer
until it encounters an error.
However, the input as a whole is wrong and we should not be
writing anything to the file. Therefore, correct flags_write()
to return -EINVAL immediately on bad input strings.
