drivers_probe_store() regards bus_rescan_devices_helper()'s returned
value 0 as success when find driver for a single device user specify
that is wrong since the following 3 failed cases also return 0:

(1) the device is dead
(2) bus fails to match() the device with any its driver
(3) bus fails to probe() the device with any its driver

Fixed by only regarding successfully attaching the device to a driver
as success.

Fixes: b8c5cec23d5c ("Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver binding")
