hwmon: (mlxreg-fan) Return non-zero value when fan current state is enforced from sysfs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (mlxreg-fan) Return non-zero value when fan current state is enforced from sysfs

Fan speed minimum can be enforced from sysfs. For example, setting
current fan speed to 20 is used to enforce fan speed to be at 100%
speed, 19 - to be not below 90% speed, etcetera. This feature provides
ability to limit fan speed according to some system wise
considerations, like absence of some replaceable units or high system
ambient temperature.

Request for changing fan minimum speed is configuration request and can
be set only through 'sysfs' write procedure. In this situation value of
argument 'state' is above nominal fan speed maximum.

Return non-zero code in this case to avoid
thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() call, because in this case
statistics update violates thermal statistics table range.
The issues is observed in case kernel is configured with option
CONFIG_THERMAL_STATISTICS.
