media: vb2: use ssize_t for vb2_read/vb2_write
vb2_read() and vb2_write() return size_t, but propagate negative errno values from __vb2_perform_fileio(). This relies on implicit signed/unsigned conversions in callers (e.g. vb2_fop_read()) to recover error codes: __vb2_perform_fileio() -> -EINVAL vb2_read() -> (size_t)-EINVAL vb2_fop_read() -> -EINVAL This relies on implicit conversions that are not obvious. These helpers are exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) and part of the vb2 API, so changing their return type may affect existing users. However, they conceptually follow read/write semantics, where ssize_t is typically used to return either a byte count or a negative error code. Switch vb2_read() and vb2_write() to ssize_t, and update __vb2_perform_fileio() accordingly.
