binfmt_elf: Respect error return from `regset->active'
The regset API documented in <linux/regset.h> defines -ENODEV as the
result of the `->active' handler to be used where the feature requested
is not available on the hardware found.  However code handling core file
note generation in `fill_thread_core_info' interpretes any non-zero
result from the `->active' handler as the regset requested being active.
Consequently processing continues (and hopefully gracefully fails later
on) rather than being abandoned right away for the regset requested.

Fix the problem then by making the code proceed only if a positive
result is returned from the `->active' handler.

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.
