Return -EINVAL instead of -1 when no matching gain value is found
in the gain table. Update the callers to propagate this error directly
rather than overwriting it with -EINVAL.

Changes in v2:
 - Update callers to propagate the error directly instead of
   overwriting it with -EINVAL.

I would use -ENOENT, but I'm not sure if there is any ABI involved (id est we
return this to user space).

For future reference, it's good practice to also have a link to v1. (No
need to resend for that)

This return-pattern is similar to how it is used in the other `case`s in
this function. Consistency is a nice trait to have in code :)
