Subject[PATCH V2 1/3] RAS, mce_amd_inj: Return early on invalid input
Date
Invalid input such as these are currently reported on dmesg-
$> echo sweet > flags
[ 122.079139] flags_write: Invalid flags value: et

Even if the 'flags' attribute has been updated correctly-
$> cat flags
sw

But the input as a whole is wrong and we should not be
writing anything to the file. Therefore, modifying the
behavior in this patch to return EINVAL on bad input strings
