tracing: Don't succeed if event_enable_func did not register anything
Return 0 instead of the number of activated ftrace function probes if event_enable_func succeeded and return an error code if it failed or did not register any functions. But it currently returns the number of registered functions and if it didn't register anything, it returns 0, but that is considered success. This also fixes the return value. As if it succeeds, it returns the number of functions that were enabled, which is returned back to the user in ftrace_regex_write (the write() return code). If only one function is enabled, then the return code of the write is one, and this can confuse the user program in thinking it only wrote 1 byte.
