Fix return code check for "max brightness" ACPI call.
The Dell laptop ACPI video brightness control is not present on dell
laptops anymore, but was present in older kernel versions.
The code that checks the return value is incorrect since the SMM
refactoring.
The old code was:
if (buffer->output[0] == 0)
Which was changed to:
ret = dell_send_request(...)
if (ret)
However, dell_send_request() will return 0 if buffer->output[0] == 0,
so we must change the check to:
if (ret == 0)
This issue was found on a Dell M4800 laptop, and the fix tested on it
as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
