[PATCH] ppc, vio fix modalias_show return values

[2nd try at this ... 1st one seems to have gone AWOL]

modalias_show() should return an empty string on error, not -ENODEV.

This causes the following false and annoying error:

> find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat >/dev/null
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4000/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4001/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4002/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4004/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/modalias: No such device
