The documentation comment for qemu_semihosting_console_write() says
  * Returns: number of bytes written -- this should only ever be short
  * on some sort of i/o error.

and the callsites rely on this.  However, the implementation code
path which sends console output to a chardev doesn't honour this,
and will return negative values on error.  Bring it into line with
the other implementation codepaths and the documentation, so that
it returns 0 on error.

Spotted by Coverity, because console_write() passes the return value
to unlock_user(), which doesn't accept a negative length.
