[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH 2/2] plugins: Consistent error handling on FUA

We document that a plugin callback should return 0 on success, but
other places in the code treat all values other than -1 as success
(perhaps we should treat all negative values as errors, instead of
exactly -1, but that may break binary back-compatibility).  However,
when reworking where FUA fallback occurs, we introduced a subtle
change: if a plugin returns a positive value on success, and the
client requested FUA, we ended up reporting success to the client
without performing FUA.
