ACPI / Battery: Return -ENODEV for unknown values in get_property()

The function acpi_battery_get_property() is called by the
power supply framework's function power_supply_show_property()
implementing the sysfs interface for power supply devices as the
ACPI battery driver's ->get_property() callback.  Thus it is supposed
to return error code if the value of the given property is unknown.
Unfortunately, however, it returns 0 in those cases and puts a
wrong (negative) value into the intval field of the
union power_supply_propval object provided by
power_supply_show_property().  In consequence, wrong negative
values are read by user space from the battery's sysfs files.

Fix this by making acpi_battery_get_property() return -ENODEV
for properties with unknown values (-ENODEV is returned, because
power_supply_uevent() returns with error for any other error code
returned by power_supply_show_property()).
